BAC in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Bank of America is a diversified US bank serving individual customers, small and mid-sized businesses, large corporations, institutions and governments. It runs four segments: Consumer Banking for everyday deposits, cards and mortgages; Global Wealth & Investment Management for brokerage, trust and advisory services; Global Banking for commercial lending, treasury and underwriting; and Global Markets for trading, financing and clearing across rates, equities, credit and currencies. It is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Where it sits in the stack

Why Closelook tracks it
