Financials

​The financial sector contains a wide variety of companies involved in all aspects of money management.  Some examples of these activities are: banking, brokerage, corporate lending, real estate funding, and insurance.  The financials sector provides the capital required to fund nearly all non-government activities in the United States, and its infrastructure is analogous to the system of arteries running through the human body.  The life blood of economic activity in this country is delivered through this critical sector.
