Investment Bank

An investment bank is a financial institution that helps companies, governments, and other organizations raise money by issuing stocks or bonds. They also provide advice on mergers, acquisitions, and other big financial decisions. Unlike retail banks that handle everyday banking needs, investment banks focus on complex financial transactions, helping clients grow, restructure, or sell parts of their businesses. They earn fees and commissions for their services, and their expertise is vital in facilitating large, strategic financial moves in the economy.
