Looks fine. However I'm not convinced there's benefit in having placeholder
'Mutual Funds' nor 'Stocks' accounts. Thus the following works well too:

Assets (Top-level Parent) = Asset [placeholder]
---Current Assets = Asset [placeholder]
------Bank 1 = Bank [placeholder]
---------Account 1a = Bank
---------Account 1b = Bank
------Bank 2 = Bank [placeholder]
---------Account 2a = Bank
---------Account 2b = Bank

---Investments = Asset [placeholder]
------Brokerage Accounts  = Asset [placeholder]
---------Brokerage Account  1 =Asset [placeholder]
------------Linked Bank 1 = Bank
------------Mutual Fund 1a = Stock
------------Mutual Fund 1b = Stock
------------Stock 1a = Stock
------------Stock 1b = Stock
---------Brokerage Account 2 =Asset [placeholder]
------------Linked Bank 2 = Bank
------------Mutual Fund 2a = Stock
------------Mutual Fund 2b = Stock
