...allow commercials banks to acquire investment dealers on Toronto's Bay Street, the country's financial hub. As a result, these institutions are subject to the same strict rules as commercial banks, while U.S. investment dealers are subject to only light supervision from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, of course, will now be under the U.S. Federal Reserve's supervision since they have been chartered as bank-holding companies...

...decisions at firms like Citigroup and UBS about what lines of business to pursue will be made with more of an eye to how much risk comes along with the profit. Merrill Lynch's running into the arms of Bank of America and its steady-Eddie deposit base, and Morgan Stanley's and Goldman Sachs' opting to become bank holding companies can be read as early evidence of the move toward that balance...
