Key Financial Metrics
As a Form 13F-HR, this document reports equity holdings rather than the company's operational financial performance (revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt). The following metrics are derived from the reported portfolio:
- Total Portfolio Value: $127,281,000 (reported in thousands).
- Number of Holdings: 315 entries.

Note: The filing text does not provide clear values for West Bancorporation Inc's own revenue, profit, margins, debt, or liquidity, as this form is designed to disclose investment positions, not corporate financial statements.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide comparative data for the prior period (e.g., Q3 2021) to calculate material changes in portfolio value or composition. The document lists the total holdings as of the reporting date but does not explicitly state the net change from the previous quarter.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing type does not contain management commentary, forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or contingencies regarding the company's future operations. It is a statutory disclosure of current equity holdings.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total portfolio value of $127.3 million against the company's 10-Q or 10-K filings for the same period to understand the proportion of assets managed versus core banking assets.
- Confirm the identity of the "Other Included Manager" (West Bank) to ensure accurate attribution of the reported holdings.
- Note that this document does not reflect the bank's loan portfolio, deposit base, or net interest income.
- Review the specific 315 holdings listed in the full schedule (not provided in this summary text) to assess sector concentration and risk exposure.
