Over the decade, there has been a growing convergence between investment activities and commercial banks. Moreover, the modern banking industry has brought greater diversification into business. Some banks in the industrial world invest, subscribe to securities, and manage portfolios and insurance companies. These changes have made banks an even bigger entity in the world of business.
