This depends from country to country, and the type of commercial banking license as provided by the financial regulator (usually the central bank) to the commercial bank.

Each country has its own set of rule sets and definitions. In some, a commercial bank would not be allowed to do investment banking or trade in equities and/or mutual fund. A separate license might be required for such activities. Some commercial banks are prohibited to have equity partners that might be other banks and/or insurance companies, etc.

Some acute restrictions could be that of not be allowed to to international trade banking or FX banking.
