Tell me about the investment banking sector
Investment banking is a financial services sector that deals with underwriting of debt and equity securities, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), financial restructuring and providing advice on capital structure to corporate and governmental clients. Investment banks also provide services such as trade execution, asset management, securities research and sales, and other services. Investment banks can be divided into two main categories: bulge-bracket firms, which are the largest and most successful banks, and middle-market firms, which are smaller, regional firms. Investment banks are typically organized as partnerships and offer a wide range of services.
