Understanding how these markets operate and the role investment banks play in them is crucial for anyone looking to delve into the world of investment banking.Finally, it is important to recognize the various services investment banks offer. These include mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory, where banks assist in the buying and selling of companies; debt and equity capital markets, where banks help raise funds through bond and equity issuances; and sales and trading, where banks facilitate the buying and selling of securities in the secondary market.By grasping the basics of investment banking, you will be equipped with the knowledge to navigate this complex field. Whether you aspire to work in investment banking or simply desire a deeper understanding of the finance industry, this subchapter will serve as a valuable foundation to build upon.
