Investment banking

Investment banking is a specialized sector of banking that primarily deals with the creation of capital for other companies, governments, and other entities. These banks facilitate large, complex financial transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, underwriting new debt and equity securities, and providing financial advisory services. They also help companies in the issuance of stocks and bonds, guide them through the process of initial public offerings (IPOs), and provide asset management services. Investment banking is vital for the efficiency and stability of financial markets as it helps in capital formation, economic growth, and overall financial management.
