The Corporate Business

main expertise banks have is in underwriting securities, but
they also sell other services.
• They provide merger and acquisition advice in the form of
prospecting for takeover targets, advising clients about the
price to be offered for these targets, finding financing for
the takeover, and planning takeover tactics or, on the other
side, takeover defenses.
The Sales and Trading Business

them on the sales and trading end of their business
to the bank’s institutional investors.
• These investors include mutual funds, pension funds,
and insurance companies.
• Sales and trading also consists of public market
making, trading for clients, and trading on the
investment banking firm’s own account.
Market making
• It requires that the investment bank act as a dealer in securities,
standing ready to buy and sell, respectively, at wholesale (bid)
and retail (ask) prices.

• The bank makes money on the difference between the bid and
ask price, or the bid-ask spread.

• In addition, investment banks trade securities using their own


fund, which is known as proprietary trading.

• Proprietary trading is riskier for an investment bank than being a


dealer and earning the bid-ask spread, but the rewards can be
commensurably larger.
Cooperative Banks

the cooperative basis and dealing in ordinary banking
business.

• Like other banks, the co-operative banks collect funds


through shares.

• They accept deposits from the public and grant loans.
