From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 54 US Headquartered Diversified Investment Management, Brokers, Dealers and Investment Advice Firms, other than Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which I already included with the Big 6 Financials, with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $1 Bil very recently and which have filed their Calendar Second Quarter 2017 Financial Statements with the SEC.
