RADITIONALLY, CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD their checking and savings accounts at a bank, their mortgage at the savings and loan association, their insurance services with insurance companies, and their investment activities withinvestingcompanies,mutualfunds,andbrokeragefirms.Thisconventionalmodel of providing and receiving financial services has disappeared in the years after the Gramm-Leach-BlileyFinancialServicesModernizationActof1999.Therecentwaveof consolidations in the financial services industry has resulted in fewer but bigger financial institutions, and they are often perceived as ‘‘too big to fail’’ (TBTF). The distinctions among financial services and products of banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, and brokerage firms are now becoming less noticeable. The principal focus of this book is on banks, but many issues discussed throughout all chapters are relevantforallfirmsinthefinancialservicesindustry,suchasmutualandhedgefunds andinvestmentandinsurancecompanies.Althoughitisnotthepurposeorthisbookto evaluatetherelativeimportanceoffactorsthatcontributedtothe2007–2009financial crisis, their consequences and regulatory responses are discussed. As this book was goingthroughproduction,theFinancialCrisisInquiryCommissionissuedareportthat suggests the 2007–2009 financial crisis could have been avoided and was caused by inadequate and ineffective regulations to ensure the safety and soundness of the financialsystem.Otherfactorswhichcontributedtothecrisisrangefromlaxoversight ofderivativestoinsufficientsupervisionbyfederalbankingandsecuritiesregulatorsas well as greed, excessive risk taking, and mismanagement of executives of financial services firms. A new regulatory framework has been established for the financial services industry, including the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and its related regulations, Group of 20 summits, and Basel committee requirements. This new regulatory framework definesboundaries,guidance,andrequirementswithinwhichbanksandotherfinancial servicesfirmscaneffectivelyoperateingeneratingsustainableperformance.Itnormally is supplemented by best practices of vigilant boards of directors, risk assessment, and effective corporate governance.
