In recent decades, different types of financial services have converged. Banks, securities firms, and insurance companies have found ways to surmount old legal barriers, enter each other's businesses, affiliate with one another, and develop new products (such as derivatives) that transcend traditional business patterns and regulatory categories. Three years ago, Congress responded to these regulatory changes by enacting the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which created a new framework for affiliations among financial services firms. This panel discussion will consider how the process of financial modernization has been working.
