About the financial sector
Banks earn the difference between what they pay on deposits and what they charge on loans, plus fees. Insurers collect premiums and invest them until claims are paid. Asset managers, brokers and exchanges earn fees tied to market activity, while card networks and payment processors take a small cut of transaction volume.
The sector is sensitive to interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and credit quality. Bank stocks tend to do well when the economy is growing and loan losses are low, and can fall sharply in a credit crisis.
