Channel: InvestOrama
Date: 2021-07-27

Bobby Axelrod wants to be a bank in Billions Season 5, but why? 
We unpack what it means to be a bank and what could be the advantages.
Would the Axe Capital Group benefit from the government’s protection if it owned a bank?
Is there any other reason to own a bank for a hedge fund? Like investing in the funds or lending cheaply?
