The finer details of finance have to be handled by a team of experts who are competent and reliable. Banks have diversified their products from loans, deposits and insurance to financial instruments like a certificate of deposit, treasury bills and bonds just to mention but a few to cater for the expanding market base in dire need of these financial products. According to Investopedia, an investment bank is a financial intermediary that performs a variety of services. Investment banks specialize in large and complex financial transactions, such as underwriting, acting as an intermediary between a securities issuer and the investing public, facilitating mergers and other corporate reorganizations, and acting as a broker and financial advisor for institutional clients. This entails underwriting of securities, asset, and wealth management and helps to make Initial Public Offers(IPO) to companies.
