• Explains why and how banks today go beyond traditional investment banking to include trading, securitization, financial engineering, merchant banking, investment management, and securities services

• Deals with how investment banks assist clients in raising capital through underwriting, purchasing the whole block of new securities from the issuer and distributing them to institutional and individual investors

• Discusses the effects of the Dodd–Frank reform act, which restricted how investment banks can operate proprietary trading

No matter the area of investment banking you′re interested in, or if you just need a comprehensive overview of one of the world′s most exciting industries, you′ll find it here.
