Do any major banks or buy side funds require blazers and ties?

Had this intern that would wear a full suit and tie every single day. I thought it was out of place today, but overall he was a smart guy and it was whatever. 
 

I was just wondering if there were any major places in banking or buy side (or really any major business) that still expected employees to wear a jacket and tie when in the office (so excluding things like lawyers in court). I’d be surprised if places like this are still around but am curious if anyone knew

If you have a problem with a suit and a tie, then you are the problem.
