3. Concept of Investment Banks
 In the U.S., the Glass–Steagall Act, initially created in the wake of the
Stock Market Crash of 1929, prohibited banks from both accepting
deposits and underwriting securities, and led to segregation of
investment banks from commercial banks. Glass–Steagall was
effectively repealed for many large financial institutions by the
Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act in 1999.
 In a very broad perspective, Investment Banking as the term suggests,
is concerned with the primary function of assisting capital market in
the movement of financial resources from those who have them
(investors) to those who want them (issuers).
 The Dictionary of Banking and Finance defines ‘investment bank’ as a
term used in the US to mean ‘ a bank which deals with the
underwriting of new issues and advises corporations on their financial
affairs.

4. Importance of Investment Banking
 Helps the corporations in raising capital. It facilitates the trading
of securities thereby, increasing the liquidity of the securities.
 It provides investment opportunities to the individuals or entities.
 Most of the corporations get advisory services from the
investment banks regarding the mergers, acquisitions and
divestiture.

7. Role of Investment Bank
 The major work of investment banks includes a lot of consulting. For instance, they
offer advices on mergers and acquisitions to companies. The other arena where they
give advice are tracking the market and determining when should a company come out
with a public offering and what is the best possible way to manage the public assets of
businesses. The role that an investment bank plays sometimes gets overlapped with
that of a private brokerage house. The usual advice of buying and selling is also given
by investment banks.
 There is no demarcating line between the investment banking and other forms of
banking in India. This has been observed majorly of late. All banks nowadays want to
provide their customers the best of services and create a niche for themselves and that
is why apart from investment banks, all other banks too are aiming at making it big.

8. Role of Investment Bank
 At the macro level, investment banking is related with the primary function of assisting
the capital market in its function of capital intermediation, i.e., the movement of
financial resources from those who have them (the investors), to those who need to
make use of them for producing GDP (the issuers). Over the decades, investment banks
have always suited the needs of the finance community and thus become one of the most
vibrant and exciting segment of financial services.
 Globally investment banks handle significant fund-based business of their own in the
capital market along with their non-fund service portfolio which is offered to the clients.
All these activities are broadly segmented across three platforms - equity market
activity, debt market activity and merger and acquisitions (M&A) activity. In addition,
given the structure of the market, there is also a segmentation based on whether a
particular investment bank belongs to a banking parent or is a stand-alone pure
investment bank.

9. Role of Investment Bank
 Investment bank is a financial institution and investment banking plays a very important
role in the economy. Investment banking helps the corporations in raising capital. It
facilitates the trading of securities thereby, increasing the liquidity of the securities. It
provides investment opportunities to the individuals or entities. Most of the corporations
get advisory services from the investment banks regarding the mergers, acquisitions and
divestiture. In addition, because of the importance of the roles of investment banking,
the commercial banks do not perform these roles.
