Question: In terms of size, which banks in the U.S. financial system seem to rely most heavily on deposits as a source of funding and which on non deposit borrowings and liability management? To provide an example for the numbers reported in Table 13-3, go to the FDIC's Institution Directory and search by city and state to find a small bank holding company (BHC) located in your hometown or somewhere you enjoy visiting. Write down the BHC ID of your selected bank. Then go to www3.fdic.gov/sdi/ to compare your small BHC with two larger BHCs-Bank of America (BHC ID 1073757) and J. P. Morgan Chase (BHC ID 1039502).

Compare and contrast Deposits/Total Assets and Liabilities/Total Assets for the three BHCs to illustrate your point. If you need some help maneuvering around this site to create a report, read on.
