Letter to Shareholders

banking, commercial banking, wealth management, and trust 

services – we are able to maintain our performance and growth amid ever

changing market dynamics. In 2013, we gained market share in both the 

retail and commercial lines of our business, generating solid growth in 

loans and deposits. Strong equity markets boosted our wealth management

business and rewarded investors who value the active portfolio management

that our advisors provide. And while mortgage volume reflected an 
industry-wide cool-down in the refinancing market, we continued to 

generate a very strong level of mortgage origination volume.

Our employees made the record-setting results that we delivered in 2013 

possible. When we challenged our people to deliver process improvements to
make our operations more efficient, they delivered – but never at the expense

of providing a superior customer experience. In fact, improving the customer

experience was a prerequisite for any process change. The result was a 

win-win situation – enhanced service for our customers and improved 

performance for our company.

Officer; Mark K.W. Gim, Executive Vice President, Wealth 
Management, and Treasurer; Joseph J. MarcAurele, Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer; and David V. Devault, Vice Chair,
