4 Banks - Diversified companies within the Financial Services sector.
Diversified banks run several businesses inside one balance sheet: consumer lending, commercial banking, trading and markets, and fee-earning advisory or wealth operations. The mix is the point — trading revenue tends to rise in the volatile periods that hurt lending, which smooths group results relative to a pure lender.
The cost of that breadth is capital. Large diversified institutions face the strictest regulatory capital requirements, which sets a ceiling on returns and determines how much of a profitable year can actually be returned to shareholders rather than retained.
