Investment Banking Industry Description

Companies that provide corporate finance activities such as advisory, mergers and acquisitions, underwriting, and financial restructuring services.

Summary

There was a time when investment banking conjured up images of blue-blooded financiers in white shoes striking deals over three-martini lunches. While most investment bankers remain well-bred and still sport expensive footwear, their industry isn’t as quite as rarefied as it once was.
