    About this ebook

    Man learnt to invest a long time ago, but investment banking
    has a relatively short history. It wasn't until the Dutch East
    India Company, VOC, started issuing bonds and shares of stock
    to the general public that investment banking saw the light of
    the day. But since then, the services provided by investment
    banks has grown exponentially and it is today considered to be
    one of the most lucrative segments of financial institutions.
    Investment banking is different from commercial or retail banks
    in the fact that they do not take deposits. But this is not the
    only difference, there are other things that make investment
    banking unlike any other form of banking. There are a number
    of functions performed by investment banks. Investment
    bankers in the U.S. must be a licensed broker-dealer and they
    must follow the rules and regulations laid down by the
    Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial
    Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
    Knowing the history of investment banking, the manner in
    which it has evolved over the period of time and the different
    services that it offers can help anyone who wants to be an
    investment banker or who is interested in investment banking.
