Investment Banking
Investment banking is a type of banking that organizes large, complex financial transactions such as
mergers or initial public offering (IPO) underwriting. These banks may raise money for companies in a
variety of ways, including underwriting the issuance of new securities for a corporation, municipality, or
other institution. They may manage a corporation’s IPO. Investment banks also provide advice in mergers,
acquisitions, and reorganizations.
In essence, investment bankers are experts who have their fingers on the pulse of the current investment
climate. They help their clients navigate the complex world of high finance.
