How Do Investment Banks Works? (#73)

 



What Are Investment Banks?

An Investment Bank is basically such an organisation that tends to work in partnership with various businesses & help'em fulfill their financial needs by being fully responsible for the Risks, involved in the process of collecting the capital.


*This entire definition will make a lot more sense by the end of this Blog!*


Okay! So, now let's straight up talk about what do they really do & how do this entire system works....


So here we go;

What Do Investment Banks Do & How Do They Work?

Let's get an overview of what really happens....

Well, now just think that there is a Company willing to raise funds, faster!

& so the Company can go to an Investment Bank & ask it to find investors for the Company.

& so, the Investment Bank will basically find a good Investor for the Company. & it'll ensure both of them that, the seller will sell & the buyer will buy ---- taking onto the risk & by being a part of the process.

& here you can clearly see that the Investment Bank is serving as a middle person // intermediary body between the buyer (investors) & the seller (the Company).


If any of'em fails then the Investment Bank will be responsible for the losses &'ll have to cover'em up.... As they took the risk!

This is also what we know as Underwriting....:

Underwriting basically means assuring the buyer that the seller will sell & also assuring the seller that the buyer will buy; whatever is being traded & if something goes wrong than an Investment Bank will take over that Risk!


Apart from finding Investors for Companies & making such Business Deals!

Investment Banks also plays a vital role in the "merger & acquisition" of the Businesses!


Merger means that 2 Businesses/Companies teaming up & Acquisition means that one business acquiring/buying another!

& so basically Investment Banks are the middle person!


I hope this makes some sense to you!


Moreover, to estimate the power Investment Banks really hold.... I'll recommend you to look back on to what caused the 2008 Crisis; I mean Investment Banks weren't the only one's that caused the Recession for real but yet they were involved in a pretty big way!

Lehman Brothers! ---- was the 4th largest Investment Bank in the U.S. at the time but it went bankrupt on 15th September 2008. This was the biggest Bankruptcy in history!
