Question: Suppose you are managing a medium-size branch banking organization (holding about $25 billion in assets) with all of its branch offices located within the same state. The board of directors has asked you to look into the possibility of the bank offering limited security trading and investment banking services as well as insurance sales. What laws open up the possibility of offering the foregoing services and under what circumstances may they be offered? What do you see as the principal benefits from and the principal stumbling blocks to successful pursuit of such a project?
