“Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBT) was another name that left the strategy. Sterling provides retail and institutional banking services and wealth management in Michigan, California and New York. We had thought that Sterling was undervalued due to a regulatory issue. And our assessment was that the issue would be resolved with only minor consequences. Although we were correct in our assessment, Sterling has failed to gain the traction we had expected. As a result, we decided to move on from our investment.”
