They are an investment company, they take assets and invest them, similar to how a bank takes deposits and uses it to lend. That one is open to regular deposits and the other is more exclusive is not the hill to die on. Also are you able to name banks that are enjoying the rate hikes?

In particular, they are Not a Bank.
If you just Google you will see JPM and Citi did quite badly under the low interest regime and bounced back after interest rates went up.
Citi had a more pronounced bump with Covid stimulus.
