The document discusses issues facing banks that are pursuing a "hold" strategy in 2020, such as remaining independent. It notes demographic headwinds like slow population growth that impact loan growth. Banks need to focus on succession planning, employee retention, and providing liquidity to shareholders. Regulatory changes may allow banks to broaden partnerships and raise capital from new sources. Overall, banks should focus on growing noninterest income and improving efficiency while still managing credit risks prudently.
