...member firms is the prospective change with the greatest long-range potential for reshaping the structure of Wall Street. The need is clear. Despite the rich commissions, member firms lack capital for long-term needs such as back-office automation, and several recently had trouble complying with an exchange rule that capital must equal at least 5% of debts.
