While reading a press release
dated December 9th 2016 released at 12:00 pm EST - from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, whereas, it stated the following:
"
The Federal Reserve Board on Friday, December 9th 2016 announced the approval of technical
amendments to its rule that identifies global systemically important
bank holding companies (GSIBs) and requires those firms to hold
additional amounts of risk-based capital to avoid restrictions on
capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.".
We were curious to know how many (GSIBs) Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies exist in the World today, so, we researched that information to gain insight.
We learned there were at least (34) thirty-four of these types of bank holding companies in the World as we know it today.

Note: Out of the 34 Global Bank Holding Companies, (8) eight are
United States based companies.
An Asterisk ( " * " ) has been placed by the eight US Organizations seen below these statements.
There are (25) twenty-five
Foreign-based Companies of the 34 G-SIBs ( Global Bank Holding Companies ) observed that have address in the United States of America.
( We are confident the remaining bank holding companies mentioned below have address in the United States of America. So, we did not bother to identify them in relationship to the Federal Reserve System Press Release mentioned above. )
27)
Bank of America *
28)
Bank of New York Mellon *
29)
Citigroup *
30)

Now, before we continue, according to the
National Information Center, a
bank holding company is ;
"A company that owns and/or controls one or more U.S. banks or one that owns, or has controlling interest in, one or more banks. A bank holding company may also own another bank holding company, which in turn owns or controls a bank; the company at the top of the ownership chain is called the top holder. The Board of Governors is responsible for regulating and supervising bank holding companies, even if the bank owned by the holding company is under the primary supervision of a different federal agency (OCC or FDIC)"
It is true that possessing knowledge is power, perhaps, the proper way to utilize that ability to act requires common sense. Thus, the following questions come to mind:
1) As a US Small Business Owner or Individual, are we allowed to invest in all (34) thirty-four Global Bank Holding Companies mentioned above in some way, form or fashion? Could this investment be in a small or large amount of funds?
2) Do all (34) thirty-four Global Bank Holding Companies have offices in the United States of America?
3) What Organizations out of the (34) thirty-four Global Bank Holding Companies mentioned above are regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the United States?
.
