What does it mean to be a well-managed bank

Financial results, are of course, paramount. A well-run bank is profitable and (hopefully) generates a return on equity well above the cost of that equity. Other metrics are also clearly important. For example, a bank with a growing credit portfolio is demonstrating that it has the ability to originate new loans – in other words, it has attractive products and a distribution network – a core requirement for banks wherever they are. 

Other data points will be of greater or lesser importance depending on the specific business model.
