Size does matter. Especially when it comes to entrusting hard-earned savings with financial institutions are concerned. Following are the good reasons behind such an assumption:
- During periods of extreme financial stress, for example the run on banks and other financial institutions after the Lehman Brothers event, larger players are better placed to handle the crisis.
- When there is a run on a player, the government more likely to be be forced to step-in with the rescue-act in the case of a large player. This had happened once when UTI mutual fund was in trouble.
- On account of the scale of operations and larger resources at disposal, larger organizations have the wherewithal to streamline processes and implement adequate checks and balances in the system.
