Texas Capital Bancshares, a Dallas-based bank that was formerly backed by Archegos Capital Management, has announced staff cuts as part of its transformation strategy amid a volatile time for the banking industry. According to a spokesperson, the bank eliminated or consolidated certain positions consistent with the plan, but the spokesperson declined to specify the number of jobs eliminated. The Dallas Business Journal previously reported that the bank cut as much as 10% of its workforce. The company's annual report shows that it had 2,198 employees as of December 31.

Archegos Capital Management thrust Texas Capital into the spotlight in 2021 after it was reported that the firm had built an undisclosed 20% stake in Texas Capital. This stake propped up the bank's share price, which plummeted after Archegos went under. As a result, Texas Capital has been executing its transformation strategy, which involves consistently delivering operating efficiencies through the investment in better technology, products, processes, and client experience.

Expansion Plans and Recent Hires

Over the past couple of years, Texas Capital has been focusing on expanding its wealth management and treasury services. The bank also launched an investment banking arm in a shift away from just strictly offering loans. Moreover, the firm is planning to offer an exchange-traded fund that would give investors exposure to companies based in Texas. It would be the first ETF from Texas Capital Bank, and it would track an index of about 200 firms in the Lone Star State, according to a filing.

Texas Capital hired ETF veteran Ed Rosenberg this year and last week named former Goldman Sachs Group Inc Managing Director David Youngberg Jr. as its chief credit officer. Youngberg had worked in the risk division office of Goldman's Dallas office.
