Business Strategy and Outlook
First Republic Bank is one of the more unusual banks under our coverage. It has a uniquely focused business model, with a high service offering aimed at wealthy clients concentrated in costal urban areas. The bank was exclusively led by its founder, Jim Herbert, until mid-2021, and has been able to churn out remarkably high organic growth year after year, resulting in compounded asset growth of roughly 20% over the past 10 years compared with an industry growth rate of closer to 5%.
