Join an Investment Bank as an Investment Banker. You may need to gain expertise in assessing financial risks and project viabilities to get the recruitment easier. Additional knowledge about the Banks activities in the area will be useful too.
An investment banker is an individual who works in a financial institution that is in the business primarily of raising capital for companies, governments and other entities, or who works in a large bank's division that is involved with these activities, often called an investment bank.
Investment bankers often work at investment banks, the largest of which are Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC) and Deutsche Bank (DB). Whether or not they work for a true investment bank, investment bankers assist in large, complicated financial transactions. This may include advice as to how much a company is worth and how best to structure a deal if the investment bankers client is considering an acquisition, merger or sale. It may also include the issuing of securities as a means of raising money for the client groups, and creating the documentation for the Securities and Exchange Commission necessary for a company to go public.
Generally speaking, the investment banker will save the company in question time and money by identifying risks associated with a project before the company moves forward. In theory, the investment banker is an expert in his or her field who has a finger on the pulse of the current investing climate, so businesses and institutions turn to investment bankers for advice on how best to plan their development, as investment bankers can tailor their recommends to the present state of economic conditions.
An investment banker serves as a facilitator between a company and investors when the company wants to issue stock or bonds. The investment banker assists with pricing financial instruments so as to maximize revenue and with navigating regulatory requirements. Often, when a company holds its initial public offering (IPO), an investment bank will buy all or much of that companys shares directly from the company. Subsequently, as proxy for the company holding the IPO, the investment bank will sell the shares on the market. This makes things much easier for the company itself, as they effectively contract out the IPO to the investment bank. Moreover, the investment bank stands to make a profit.
