AXP American Express Company

American Express is a payments and premium lifestyle brand that both issues cards and runs the network they ride on, so it stands on both sides of a transaction rather than renting someone else's rails. It aims its cards at affluent people and businesses and earns from several places at once: a discount fee charged to the merchants who accept the card, annual card fees, and interest on balances cardmembers carry. It is also a bank holding company, so its lending is supervised and examined like a bank's.

It earns most of its keep as a fee charged on the pile it manages, so its revenue rides on the size of those assets; it also licenses its investment and risk software to other firms.

It makes money two ways at once: it runs a brokerage and asset manager that earns fees for trading, custody, advice, and funds; and it runs a bank that takes the idle cash sitting in those accounts and earns the spread by lending and investing it. The work splits between serving investors directly and serving the advisers who serve them.

The same shelf as one comparative table, every member a row and every column sortable: the Capital Markets & Asset Management table →

The same four lines for every member, in strict ticker order; a figure that could not be read renders as "not read," never as a mark against the record beside it. The header describes the list and names no member; the entries carry no ranking and form no score. What a chapter cannot carry — understanding of the business, and a price — is yours.
