Case Study: Strategic Option Identification
The Client:
A major Canadian bank with a student loan subsidiary.
The Client Goal:
To identify what should be done with the student loan subsidiary which was no longer viewed as core to the bank.
The Process:
The company selected McDaniel Partners to:
-
Assess the student loan subsidiary and key competitors to determine key market strengths and areas of opportunity.
-
Develop a plan to help the bank identify options – acquire, sell, partner, or build.
The Result:
-
Market assessment identified a number of options for the bank to consider.
-
Based on the options presented, the bank determined that it would sell the subsidiary to a leading American student loan company.
-
The result – the creation of a new North American student loan company, one that was well-positioned to grow in the Canadian student loan marketplace.
