INTRODUCTION
In every economy of the world, there exist this loophole between the surplus and
deficit sectors of the economy. As such, the need for the financing of investments
projectby the deficit sector whomay at any particular pointing time wanting to get
across to the surplus sector of the economy who savings needs to be made in form
of investments project. The dichotomy of this difference always create a lag of
communication within the economy between the sector having excess resources
and willing to part away with such savings with the expectation of certain returns
on their savingin relation to the riskengaged in venturesand the deficit sectorwho
at certain point in time had exposureto investment projectwho may bring in high
yield on such investment but lacks the fund to finance such project.
Corporate funds is such economic resources in form of liquid cash converted to a
financial asset used in financing investment project which is the commitment of
funds and other scarceresources into project in anticipation of a certain economic
benefit in the future and given a period of time. Corporate fund availability is a
function of the stage of economic development and the stage of business cycle in
the economic. A developed economy tend to generate morecorporatefundsas the
standard of living will be high because the income level of in the economy will be
high and such people after consumptions will have excess cash to save for
investment purpose and will be willing to part with such fund given a favorable
level of interest rate in the economy and may rather desire to hold unto such
savings if the interest rate is not favorable. A lower interest rate in the economy
will lead to a lower rate of investments the yield on bond will be rather low

compared and will hold onto their cash for transactionary and precautionary
motive rather than for speculative motives.
As earlier connoted above, there exist a loophole between the deficit and surplus
sector within the economy and thus under indirect finance and with the demerit of
direct financing, thereexist a channel for thetwo sector to meet and thus the need
for an investment banker to mobilize fund within the economy form the surplus
sector of the economy to the deficit surplus for financing of project.
Investmentbankers who is partof thebank financialinstitution which is so favored
by regulation of the economy to receive deposits and also create monetary assets
by transforming the liquid cash of the surplus sector into a financial asset.
Investmentbankers which is also a section of the commercial banks are by virtue
regulated by the central monetary system through the Central Bank and are
mandated to hold their funds in a shortterm low risk investment which may be in
formof governmentbondsand Treasurybill. They arenot expected to engagetheir
corporate fund in long term investment project so as to guide against the risk of
financial dilemma of profitability as against liquidity.
Investmentbanker tend to mobilize funds fromthesurplus sector by offering them
various savings package with a reasonable level of returns as that is the major
rationale for savers to part with their savings rather than using such for
consumption.
Though investment bankers engagein funding of investmentactivities, but in most
cases, they cover investment with shorter duration and occasionally cover those
investments with longer maturity period. The reason for this action cannotbe over
emphasized as this is because of the liability of the bank dictates their assets.

Investment bankers play a major role in the mobilization of corporate funds in
underdeveloped countries such as Nigeria. As the economy evolves to a gradually
developing economy, the non-monetized sector gradually metamorphosed into a
monetized sector with the rate of monetization of the economy and thus, the
banking habit of the people grows. In such case, the investment banks alone are
not sufficient to mobilize corporate funds and thus the role of non-bank financial
institution comesto play in the mobilization and channeling of corporatefundsinto
productive projects.
As these institution grows, they tend to mobilize corporate funds fromthe people
by selling financial assets say in terms of monetarized assets which are close
substitutes to money. So savers buy such securities rather than keeping their cash
in liquid form for consumptions.
Investment bankers mobilizes corporate funds within the economy basically
through the process of financial intermediation and such funds mobilized is given
away in terms of loan and overdraftto deficient sector of the economy. The role of
investment bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds in the economy has a
macro economic effect on the aggregateoutput of the economy and thus affection
aggregate national income, employment, standards of living of individuals in the
country and the country’s Gross Domestic Product.
The reluctance of the GDP cannot be overemphasized in an economy as it indicate
the marketvalues of all officially recognizeoutputin the economy and such output
are mostly financed by the funds mobilized n=by the investment bankers.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study will be of great help in the actualization of the role played by investment
bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds by establishing such roles as either
major or minor as regards to their operation in the economy. It will also help to
determine a better way in which the investment bankers can mobilize corporate
funds and also how to be able to make such funds yield a better returns for the
savers who will be also gingered to be mobilized to save in the future when their
current savings is yielding a good return.
SCOPE, LIMITATION AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of this research work concentrate on the roles played by investment
bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds in the economy.
Also, there is no reasonable research work that will not be hindered by some
implicit or explicit constraints and as such this research work will not be an
exception to such variable which may limit it.
This research work is also delimited by further research work by other scholar who
may tend to expand the horizon of the work.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The empirical studies of investmentbankers and the deductions fromsuch studies
had noted that the activities of the investment bankers can affect the GDP of any
economy of the world as they are the yardstick between the participatory sectors
of the economy in terms of demand and supply of money or corporatefunds in the
economy.
Investmentbankers are financial institution whose major work is raising of capital
for companies, governmentand other entities. Also is part of a large bank division
that is into the business of raising corporate funds to business entities and
government as well.
Investment bankers also offer such services to their clients as to merger and
acquisition,or giveadviceon certain financial transactionsuchasorganizationspin-
off,reorganizationand others corporateengineering services.Theyoperate in such
a way as financial intermediary as they mobilizes fund in forms of deposit saving
and term deposit and thus channel such savings in form of loans, overdraft and
other credit facilities to individual, business entities and governments. Investment
bankers are usually large corporate organizations who are styled to strategically
mobilize fundsand channelsuch fundsto viableprojectwith an expected return on
such project. The largest form of investment bankers in the world are Goldman
Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America (BoA) and
Deutsche Bank (DB).
The roles of investment bankers in the economy can be refer to as that of a bakers
of corporatefunds and their activities can savean economy. In theory, investment
bankers are expert in the field of financial intermediation whose are so skilled in

the view of current investment climates in the economy and can tailor their
recommendation to the present economic state of the country.
Corporate fund/resources mobilization is the process by which financial resources
are solicited by the program provided by the donors and partners. Its also the
process of extracting surplus illiquid cash in the economy by way of savings and
investment from the savers who hold such for speculative purposes. The major
facilitator of fund mobilization is a favorable interest rate in the economy as this
will encourage the savers to part with their cash to such financial or non-financial
institution that may be providing such programs as the savers arerational and will
want to maximize their return on such savings or rather will prefer to hold such
illiquid cash for transactionary purpose of consumption.
Investmentbankers mobilizes savings, facilitate investment and assist to increase
the strength and diversity of developing financial markets in the country they
operates. Investment bankers also facilitate economic growth through fund
mobilization and allocating capital to best investment project and providing
liquidity.
According to World Bank, morethan half of the population in developing countries
don’t have a bank account, compared to just 10 percent in rich countries. Even
among those that had such bank account in developing countries, only 43 percent
use their bank account to save.
In essence, investment bank are the bridge between large enterprises and the
investeors. Their mean roles are to advise business and government on how to
meet their financial challenges and to help them procurefinancing (which will be

mobilized fromthe surplus sector), whether it be fromstock offering, bond issues
or derivative product.
Role as an Advisor
Upon the decision to raise capital, any company or government organization lean
on an investmentbanker for guidance. Taking into accountthe current investment
climate, the bank will suggest the best way to mobilize or raise corporate funds.
This could entails selling of an ownership stake in the company through stock
offeringor borrowingfromthe public througha bond issue.The investmentbanker
can also help determine how to price these financial instruments by making use of
the most sophisticated financial models.
In the case of a stock issue, its financial analyst will look at a variety of different
factorssuch asearnings potential and the strength of the management team of the
fund seeking firm to estimate how much a share of the company is worth in the
market.Also, if a client is offeringbonds, thebank willlook atthe prevailinginterest
rate in the economy for the rated businesses to figureout how much it will haveto
pay in terms of rate of return on funds to compensate borrowers.
Underwriting stock and bonds
When a firm decides to raise funds though an equity or debt offering, an
investment bank will have to underwrite the securities. This mean that the
institution buys a certain number of shares or bonds at a predetermined price and
resells them through an exchange.

For instance, Unical Plc want to obtain N10min an initial public offering. Based on
a variety of factors, including the firm’s expected earnings over the next few years,
Udoka Investment Bank Ltd determine that investors will be willing to pay N110
each for 100,000 shares of the company’s stock. As the sole underwriter of the
issue, Udoka Ltd buys all the shares at N100 each from Unical Plc. If being able to
sell all the 100,000 shareat N110, Udoka Ltd will be raking in for itself a cool N1m
profit (N10 x 100,000 shares).
However, Udoka may be on the hook if the public’s demand for the shares is lower
than expected depending on the arrangementwith the issuer. If ithas to lower the
price to be able to sell such shares at N90 averagely, it will lose N1m. therefore,
pricing of financial securities can be very risky if not accurately determined.
The task of underwriting securities in reality often falls on more than one
investment bank. If it’s a larger offering, the managing underwriter will often form
a syndicate of other investment banks that sell a portion of the shares. This way,
the firmcan market stocks and bonds to a larger part of the public and then lower
its risk.
Investment bankers perform a less tedious role in stock offering as well. Its their
job role to create the documentation that must go to the Securities and Exchange
Commission before the firm can sell their shares. That is, compilation of financial
statements, information about the firm’s management and current structure and
how the firm intends to utilize the issue proceed.

these reports internally but can also generate income by selling them to hedge
funds and mutual fund managers.
Trading and sales
Most major firms have a trading department that can execute stock and bond
transactions on behalf of their clients. In the past, some banks have also engaged
in proprietarytrading wherethat essentially gambletheir own moneyon securities,
however, a recent regulation known as the Volcker Rule has clamped down on
these activities.
Asset and Wealth Management
Investmentbankers also carry out the role of assets management for its clients by
helping the client say individual or corporate firm to manage their assets and
ensurejudicious utilization of the proceed fromthe trading of such asset. Also the
wealth of an entity or individual can be placed under the judicious watch of an

Resource mobilization process begins with the formulation of a resource
mobilization strategy, which may include separate strategies for mobilizing
corporate funds. Financial mobilization strategies includes the following steps;
 Identify a potential source of funds
 Solicit for savings or investment
 Follow up on the pledges to obtain deposit
 Deposit these funds and record the transactions and any restriction on their
use.

These strategies and process of fund mobilization may be constrained by some
factors or established rules and regulations which may regulates the process of
fund mobilization within a given economy.
Research Gap/Contribution to knowledge
In spite of all the numerous empirical studies to determine the role of investment
bankers in the mobilization of corporate fund in the Nigerian economy noted
above, no study had emphasized the extra moral unofficial strategies used by the
investment bankers to mobilize fund from investors, many bankers goes as far a
offering sexual pleasure to investor just for them to deposit their fund with the
investment bank. This could be a first empirical attempt to fill this gap in the
literature in the field of corporate fund mobilization in Nigerian economy.
Moreover, this study will deepen readers understanding of the consequences of
the phenomenon called informality in the Nigerian economy.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study aims at testing the relationship between corporate fund mobilized in
terms of savings by investments banks and the economic development of Nigeria
economy. Thus, under financial intermediation in this study, the two sides of
intermediation are considered in terms of deposits and credit. Deposits hererefers
current, savings and fixed deposit in investment banks while credit to the private
sector will represent credit. Also, Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) represent
the size of the economy.

This studyadoptmainly secondarydata analysisapproachasdata is mainly sourced
from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This study uses both correlation and
regression analysis.
This study suffers from the following limitations;
 Exclusion of deposits and credits of others financial institutions;
 Exclusion of credit to the government.
Despite these limitations, it is believed that the conclusion of this study should be
reliable. Thisis simply becausebanks arethedominating institutions in thefinancial
systemand loans to governmentare used mainly for recurrentexpenses (and may
even be mismanaged) and not capital formation.
A three step approach is adopted in assessing the relationship. The first step tests
the ability of banks to mobilize deposit. The second step examines the portion of
the bank credit that are directed to the private sector. The third step assesses
impact of deposit and credit to private sector on the economy.
(i) Banks’s ability to mobilize funds/deposit
To do this, its assumed that money is either saved or held as cash by individuals.
Therefore, currency outsidethe bank (COB) is influenced by deposit(DPS). Deposit
is represented asall accounts held by customers(current,savings&fixed) pluscash
held by banks (M2). Thus it is expected that a negative relationship will exist
between depositin the banks and cash balanceoutside the banks. Therelationship
is denoted thus:
DPSt = f(COBt) ………………………………. (1a)
The functional relationship can then be present below as:

[DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle]
DPSt = ao + a1 COBt + e ……………………(1b)
(ii) Banks and credit to private sector.
To examine the extent of bank credits to the private sector, the relationship
between total bank credit to the system(TBC) and credit to private sectors (CPS) is
considered. The relationship is denoted thus:
TBCt =f(CPSt) …………………………………(2a)
And functionally we state
TBCt = ao + a1 CPSt + e …………………….(2b)
(iii) Bank intermediation and economic growth and development.
Here, GDP is used to represent growth and development in the economy while
banks credit to the private sector (CPS) and deposit in banks (DPS) stand for
financial intermediation by banks. Thus:
GDPt = f(CPS, DPS) ………………………………(3a)
The functional relationship is thus stated:
GDPt = ao + a1DCRt + e ……………(3b)
Where:
ao = model intercept
a1, a2, a3 = coefficients
DPS = deposit in banks
CPS = credit to private sector

Since it was assumed that the savings in banks have an inverse relationship with
currency in circulation. From the analysis, a positive correlation therefore exist
between them as was obtained.
This is represented by a positive correlation of 0.98 which indicates that the
variablemovesin the samedirection positively as againstexpectation of negativity.
Thus this implies that deposits in bank don’t reduce the level of money in

Interpretation
The result generated priori as expected connote a high positive correlation. The
high positive correlation of 0.96 means that a reasonable portion of increase in
domestic credit is allocated to the private sector.
Test of Siginificance:
Since tc > tt
The null hypothesis is therefore rejected and the alternate hypothesis acceptad
that banks allocate a significant portion of their credit to the private sector.

Interpretation
The high correlation of 0.94 does exist between domestic credit and the gross
domestic product which is in line with expectation. Itwas indicated that domestic
credit should play a germane role in the development of the economy. This is
further gingered by the coefficient of determination of 90% which show that the
level of domestic credit does affect the gross domestic product of the economy.
Test of Significance of Result:
We also reject the Ho and accept the Hi which state that Investmentbankers does
make any significant contribution to economic growth.
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This study discovered the following:
(i) That investment bankers mobilize significant part of the currency in
circulation as deposits
(ii) That investment bank lend significant portion of the credit to the private
sector.
(iii) That investment banks contribute greatly the economic growth of the
economy
(iv) Inefficiency in bank deposit mobilization is also reflect in the currency
outside of bank which significantly increase as the bank deposit also

increases. This just tends to explain the concept of financial dualism
nature in the financial system
Discussion of Findings
The study explains that investment banks play an active role in corporate funds
mobilization in the economy which tends to promotes it growth. As shown in the
study, bank are able to mobilize corporate funds significantly in terms of deposits,
reduce currency outside bank and improve economic growth and performance of
the CBN.
In most economy say majorly the market based economy, private sector tends to
be the engine of the economic growth. This explains why the extension of
significant portion of the bank credit to it by banks is viewed in a good light. Such
credits are normally used in capital formation for productivepurposes. Even when
used for consumption, they still influence economic growth indirectly.
Bank through their intermediation role arecontribution to the economic growth as
the data used in this study of the Nigerian economy attest to this.
Conclusion
This study investigate the roles investment bankers paly in mobilization of
corporate funds which leads to economic growth. Two extreme positions where
observed: studies that accept that banks through intermediation contribute to
economic growth and those that don’t.

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView)
[DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle]
The result of the test reveals that banks do play a significant roles in the
mobilization of corporate funds in the economy and also contribute greatly to
economic growth of the country.
Analysis confirmed that banks deposits and credit to private sector has a direct
positive relationship with the country’s economy in terms of its gross domestic
product.
This study therefore concludes that bank contribute 90% to the GDP with its
intermediation roles for corporatefunds and play and active roles in the economic
growth in Nigeria.
Recommendation
With the outcome of this study, the following recommendation are make to
improve banks’ contribution to the economy:
(i) They should devise a means to mop up the increasing currency outside
bank which may be achieved by micro-financing and getting accross to
the rural sector of the economy and the less educated;
(ii) They shoud be gingered to continue to expand credit to the private
sector. This can be achieved by government guaranteeing credit to the
real sector of the economy.
(iii) Good intermediation shouldbe encouragedby the regulatoryauthorities.
Say effective regulation of the interest rate which will encourage
individuals to save.
Suggestions for further study

[DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle]
A major area for further study is the factor that influences currency outside the
bank even with all the candid efforts of the bank to mop up the credit and even
making savings easy and convenient for individuals.

THE ROLES OF INVESTMENT BANKERS IN THE MOBILIZATION OF CORPORATE FUNDS

  • 1. The Role of InvestmentBankersInThe Mobilizationof Corporate FundInNigeriaEconomy. OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] INTRODUCTION In every economy of the world, there exist this loophole between the surplus and deficit sectors of the economy. As such, the need for the financing of investments projectby the deficit sector whomay at any particular pointing time wanting to get across to the surplus sector of the economy who savings needs to be made in form of investments project. The dichotomy of this difference always create a lag of communication within the economy between the sector having excess resources and willing to part away with such savings with the expectation of certain returns on their savingin relation to the riskengaged in venturesand the deficit sectorwho at certain point in time had exposureto investment projectwho may bring in high yield on such investment but lacks the fund to finance such project. Corporate funds is such economic resources in form of liquid cash converted to a financial asset used in financing investment project which is the commitment of funds and other scarceresources into project in anticipation of a certain economic benefit in the future and given a period of time. Corporate fund availability is a function of the stage of economic development and the stage of business cycle in the economic. A developed economy tend to generate morecorporatefundsas the standard of living will be high because the income level of in the economy will be high and such people after consumptions will have excess cash to save for investment purpose and will be willing to part with such fund given a favorable level of interest rate in the economy and may rather desire to hold unto such savings if the interest rate is not favorable. A lower interest rate in the economy will lead to a lower rate of investments the yield on bond will be rather low

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] compared and will hold onto their cash for transactionary and precautionary motive rather than for speculative motives. As earlier connoted above, there exist a loophole between the deficit and surplus sector within the economy and thus under indirect finance and with the demerit of direct financing, thereexist a channel for thetwo sector to meet and thus the need for an investment banker to mobilize fund within the economy form the surplus sector of the economy to the deficit surplus for financing of project. Investmentbankers who is partof thebank financialinstitution which is so favored by regulation of the economy to receive deposits and also create monetary assets by transforming the liquid cash of the surplus sector into a financial asset. Investmentbankers which is also a section of the commercial banks are by virtue regulated by the central monetary system through the Central Bank and are mandated to hold their funds in a shortterm low risk investment which may be in formof governmentbondsand Treasurybill. They arenot expected to engagetheir corporate fund in long term investment project so as to guide against the risk of financial dilemma of profitability as against liquidity. Investmentbanker tend to mobilize funds fromthesurplus sector by offering them various savings package with a reasonable level of returns as that is the major rationale for savers to part with their savings rather than using such for consumption. Though investment bankers engagein funding of investmentactivities, but in most cases, they cover investment with shorter duration and occasionally cover those investments with longer maturity period. The reason for this action cannotbe over emphasized as this is because of the liability of the bank dictates their assets.
  • 3. The Role of InvestmentBankersInThe Mobilizationof Corporate FundInNigeriaEconomy. OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] Investment bankers play a major role in the mobilization of corporate funds in underdeveloped countries such as Nigeria. As the economy evolves to a gradually developing economy, the non-monetized sector gradually metamorphosed into a monetized sector with the rate of monetization of the economy and thus, the banking habit of the people grows. In such case, the investment banks alone are not sufficient to mobilize corporate funds and thus the role of non-bank financial institution comesto play in the mobilization and channeling of corporatefundsinto productive projects. As these institution grows, they tend to mobilize corporate funds fromthe people by selling financial assets say in terms of monetarized assets which are close substitutes to money. So savers buy such securities rather than keeping their cash in liquid form for consumptions. Investment bankers mobilizes corporate funds within the economy basically through the process of financial intermediation and such funds mobilized is given away in terms of loan and overdraftto deficient sector of the economy. The role of investment bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds in the economy has a macro economic effect on the aggregateoutput of the economy and thus affection aggregate national income, employment, standards of living of individuals in the country and the country’s Gross Domestic Product. The reluctance of the GDP cannot be overemphasized in an economy as it indicate the marketvalues of all officially recognizeoutputin the economy and such output are mostly financed by the funds mobilized n=by the investment bankers.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The study will be of great help in the actualization of the role played by investment bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds by establishing such roles as either major or minor as regards to their operation in the economy. It will also help to determine a better way in which the investment bankers can mobilize corporate funds and also how to be able to make such funds yield a better returns for the savers who will be also gingered to be mobilized to save in the future when their current savings is yielding a good return. SCOPE, LIMITATION AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY The scope of this research work concentrate on the roles played by investment bankers in the mobilization of corporate funds in the economy. Also, there is no reasonable research work that will not be hindered by some implicit or explicit constraints and as such this research work will not be an exception to such variable which may limit it. This research work is also delimited by further research work by other scholar who may tend to expand the horizon of the work.
  • 6. The Role of InvestmentBankersInThe Mobilizationof Corporate FundInNigeriaEconomy. OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE The empirical studies of investmentbankers and the deductions fromsuch studies had noted that the activities of the investment bankers can affect the GDP of any economy of the world as they are the yardstick between the participatory sectors of the economy in terms of demand and supply of money or corporatefunds in the economy. Investmentbankers are financial institution whose major work is raising of capital for companies, governmentand other entities. Also is part of a large bank division that is into the business of raising corporate funds to business entities and government as well. Investment bankers also offer such services to their clients as to merger and acquisition,or giveadviceon certain financial transactionsuchasorganizationspin- off,reorganizationand others corporateengineering services.Theyoperate in such a way as financial intermediary as they mobilizes fund in forms of deposit saving and term deposit and thus channel such savings in form of loans, overdraft and other credit facilities to individual, business entities and governments. Investment bankers are usually large corporate organizations who are styled to strategically mobilize fundsand channelsuch fundsto viableprojectwith an expected return on such project. The largest form of investment bankers in the world are Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America (BoA) and Deutsche Bank (DB). The roles of investment bankers in the economy can be refer to as that of a bakers of corporatefunds and their activities can savean economy. In theory, investment bankers are expert in the field of financial intermediation whose are so skilled in

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] the view of current investment climates in the economy and can tailor their recommendation to the present economic state of the country. Corporate fund/resources mobilization is the process by which financial resources are solicited by the program provided by the donors and partners. Its also the process of extracting surplus illiquid cash in the economy by way of savings and investment from the savers who hold such for speculative purposes. The major facilitator of fund mobilization is a favorable interest rate in the economy as this will encourage the savers to part with their cash to such financial or non-financial institution that may be providing such programs as the savers arerational and will want to maximize their return on such savings or rather will prefer to hold such illiquid cash for transactionary purpose of consumption. Investmentbankers mobilizes savings, facilitate investment and assist to increase the strength and diversity of developing financial markets in the country they operates. Investment bankers also facilitate economic growth through fund mobilization and allocating capital to best investment project and providing liquidity. According to World Bank, morethan half of the population in developing countries don’t have a bank account, compared to just 10 percent in rich countries. Even among those that had such bank account in developing countries, only 43 percent use their bank account to save. In essence, investment bank are the bridge between large enterprises and the investeors. Their mean roles are to advise business and government on how to meet their financial challenges and to help them procurefinancing (which will be

Role as an Advisor Upon the decision to raise capital, any company or government organization lean on an investmentbanker for guidance. Taking into accountthe current investment climate, the bank will suggest the best way to mobilize or raise corporate funds. This could entails selling of an ownership stake in the company through stock offeringor borrowingfromthe public througha bond issue.The investmentbanker can also help determine how to price these financial instruments by making use of the most sophisticated financial models. In the case of a stock issue, its financial analyst will look at a variety of different factorssuch asearnings potential and the strength of the management team of the fund seeking firm to estimate how much a share of the company is worth in the market.Also, if a client is offeringbonds, thebank willlook atthe prevailinginterest rate in the economy for the rated businesses to figureout how much it will haveto pay in terms of rate of return on funds to compensate borrowers. Underwriting stock and bonds When a firm decides to raise funds though an equity or debt offering, an investment bank will have to underwrite the securities. This mean that the institution buys a certain number of shares or bonds at a predetermined price and resells them through an exchange.

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] For instance, Unical Plc want to obtain N10min an initial public offering. Based on a variety of factors, including the firm’s expected earnings over the next few years, Udoka Investment Bank Ltd determine that investors will be willing to pay N110 each for 100,000 shares of the company’s stock. As the sole underwriter of the issue, Udoka Ltd buys all the shares at N100 each from Unical Plc. If being able to sell all the 100,000 shareat N110, Udoka Ltd will be raking in for itself a cool N1m profit (N10 x 100,000 shares). However, Udoka may be on the hook if the public’s demand for the shares is lower than expected depending on the arrangementwith the issuer. If ithas to lower the price to be able to sell such shares at N90 averagely, it will lose N1m. therefore, pricing of financial securities can be very risky if not accurately determined. The task of underwriting securities in reality often falls on more than one investment bank. If it’s a larger offering, the managing underwriter will often form a syndicate of other investment banks that sell a portion of the shares. This way, the firmcan market stocks and bonds to a larger part of the public and then lower its risk. Investment bankers perform a less tedious role in stock offering as well. Its their job role to create the documentation that must go to the Securities and Exchange Commission before the firm can sell their shares. That is, compilation of financial statements, information about the firm’s management and current structure and how the firm intends to utilize the issue proceed.

Trading and sales Most major firms have a trading department that can execute stock and bond transactions on behalf of their clients. In the past, some banks have also engaged in proprietarytrading wherethat essentially gambletheir own moneyon securities, however, a recent regulation known as the Volcker Rule has clamped down on these activities. Asset and Wealth Management Investmentbankers also carry out the role of assets management for its clients by helping the client say individual or corporate firm to manage their assets and ensurejudicious utilization of the proceed fromthe trading of such asset. Also the wealth of an entity or individual can be placed under the judicious watch of an investmentbankerswhoalsoadviseon the bestmodeof generating furtherincome on such wealth and thusincreasing the value of their client’s wealth and net worth. Resource mobilization process begins with the formulation of a resource mobilization strategy, which may include separate strategies for mobilizing corporate funds. Financial mobilization strategies includes the following steps;  Identify a potential source of funds  Solicit for savings or investment  Follow up on the pledges to obtain deposit  Deposit these funds and record the transactions and any restriction on their use.

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] These strategies and process of fund mobilization may be constrained by some factors or established rules and regulations which may regulates the process of fund mobilization within a given economy. Research Gap/Contribution to knowledge In spite of all the numerous empirical studies to determine the role of investment bankers in the mobilization of corporate fund in the Nigerian economy noted above, no study had emphasized the extra moral unofficial strategies used by the investment bankers to mobilize fund from investors, many bankers goes as far a offering sexual pleasure to investor just for them to deposit their fund with the investment bank. This could be a first empirical attempt to fill this gap in the literature in the field of corporate fund mobilization in Nigerian economy. Moreover, this study will deepen readers understanding of the consequences of the phenomenon called informality in the Nigerian economy. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This study aims at testing the relationship between corporate fund mobilized in terms of savings by investments banks and the economic development of Nigeria economy. Thus, under financial intermediation in this study, the two sides of intermediation are considered in terms of deposits and credit. Deposits hererefers current, savings and fixed deposit in investment banks while credit to the private sector will represent credit. Also, Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) represent the size of the economy.

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] This studyadoptmainly secondarydata analysisapproachasdata is mainly sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This study uses both correlation and regression analysis. This study suffers from the following limitations;  Exclusion of deposits and credits of others financial institutions;  Exclusion of credit to the government. Despite these limitations, it is believed that the conclusion of this study should be reliable. Thisis simply becausebanks arethedominating institutions in thefinancial systemand loans to governmentare used mainly for recurrentexpenses (and may even be mismanaged) and not capital formation. A three step approach is adopted in assessing the relationship. The first step tests the ability of banks to mobilize deposit. The second step examines the portion of the bank credit that are directed to the private sector. The third step assesses impact of deposit and credit to private sector on the economy. (i) Banks’s ability to mobilize funds/deposit To do this, its assumed that money is either saved or held as cash by individuals. Therefore, currency outsidethe bank (COB) is influenced by deposit(DPS). Deposit is represented asall accounts held by customers(current,savings&fixed) pluscash held by banks (M2). Thus it is expected that a negative relationship will exist between depositin the banks and cash balanceoutside the banks. Therelationship is denoted thus: DPSt = f(COBt) ………………………………. (1a) The functional relationship can then be present below as:

OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] DPSt = ao + a1 COBt + e ……………………(1b) (ii) Banks and credit to private sector. To examine the extent of bank credits to the private sector, the relationship between total bank credit to the system(TBC) and credit to private sectors (CPS) is considered. The relationship is denoted thus: TBCt =f(CPSt) …………………………………(2a) And functionally we state TBCt = ao + a1 CPSt + e …………………….(2b) (iii) Bank intermediation and economic growth and development. Here, GDP is used to represent growth and development in the economy while banks credit to the private sector (CPS) and deposit in banks (DPS) stand for financial intermediation by banks. Thus: GDPt = f(CPS, DPS) ………………………………(3a) The functional relationship is thus stated: GDPt = ao + a1DCRt + e ……………(3b) Where: ao = model intercept a1, a2, a3 = coefficients DPS = deposit in banks CPS = credit to private sector

This just tends to explain the concept of financial dualism nature in the financial system Discussion of Findings The study explains that investment banks play an active role in corporate funds mobilization in the economy which tends to promotes it growth. As shown in the study, bank are able to mobilize corporate funds significantly in terms of deposits, reduce currency outside bank and improve economic growth and performance of the CBN. In most economy say majorly the market based economy, private sector tends to be the engine of the economic growth. This explains why the extension of significant portion of the bank credit to it by banks is viewed in a good light. Such credits are normally used in capital formation for productivepurposes. Even when used for consumption, they still influence economic growth indirectly. Bank through their intermediation role arecontribution to the economic growth as the data used in this study of the Nigerian economy attest to this. Conclusion This study investigate the roles investment bankers paly in mobilization of corporate funds which leads to economic growth. Two extreme positions where observed: studies that accept that banks through intermediation contribute to economic growth and those that don’t.
  • 23. The Role of InvestmentBankersInThe Mobilizationof Corporate FundInNigeriaEconomy. OredeinOluwaseun(Bsc.MscinView) [DOCUMENT TITLE] | [Document subtitle] The result of the test reveals that banks do play a significant roles in the mobilization of corporate funds in the economy and also contribute greatly to economic growth of the country. Analysis confirmed that banks deposits and credit to private sector has a direct positive relationship with the country’s economy in terms of its gross domestic product. This study therefore concludes that bank contribute 90% to the GDP with its intermediation roles for corporatefunds and play and active roles in the economic growth in Nigeria. Recommendation With the outcome of this study, the following recommendation are make to improve banks’ contribution to the economy: (i) They should devise a means to mop up the increasing currency outside bank which may be achieved by micro-financing and getting accross to the rural sector of the economy and the less educated; (ii) They shoud be gingered to continue to expand credit to the private sector. This can be achieved by government guaranteeing credit to the real sector of the economy. (iii) Good intermediation shouldbe encouragedby the regulatoryauthorities. Say effective regulation of the interest rate which will encourage individuals to save. Suggestions for further study
