    About investment banking

    Investment banking is a specialist field of financial services that provides strategic advice, capital raising and risk management services for clients, frequently dealing with complex transactions.

    Investment banks are often known for their coverage of specific industries or sectors. They may provide services within sectors including technology, healthcare, retail, energy and renewable energy, to a range of clients including corporations, financial institutions, governments and more. Sector coverage can be varied and large investment banks may span a range of sectors, dealing with the most complex transactions.
