Oklahoma bans more than a dozen woke banks from doing business with the state

Calamos Investments President and CEO John Koudounis on ESG becoming a growing asset class, JP Morgan's purchase of First Republic Bank assets, and what to expect from the next Fed meeting.

The ban impacts some of the largest asset managers and banks in the country including BlackRock, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and State Street. BlackRock alone reported in April that it has a staggering $9.1 trillion in assets under management. Oklahoma's actions come three months after Russ sent a letter and questionnaire to dozens of banks and financial institutions on Feb. 1, asking about theirpolicies.
