What is Investment Banking?

Investment Banking encompasses the range of financial advisory and capital-raising services provided to large corporations, financial institutions, investment funds and public sector clients.

Investment banks support their clients in:

raising capital in equity and debt markets,
executing strategic transactions such as mergers, acquisitions or disposals,
structuring complex financial solutions tailored to their needs.

Investment Banking activities are typically organized around two main pillars:

Advisory, which includes M&A and strategic advice,
Capital Markets, covering equity and debt issuance.
