Concept information

Preferred term

investment banks  

Definition(s)

  • Unlike consumer banks, investment banks offer services that primarily deal with the restructuring of business ownership, including initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, securitization, and private placements. In the sense that most people think of it, an investment bank is not a bank at all—insofar as it does not act as a lender or depository, but rather as a middleman and consultant.
