Investment bank

Japanese: インベストメント・バンク(英語表記)investment bank
Investment bank
Investment banks are American securities firms whose main business is to act as intermediaries between investors and issuers of securities seeking to raise long-term funds, with a focus on underwriting new securities issues. Their traditional business activities include underwriting public offerings of securities, intermediation for private placements of securities, intermediation for mergers and acquisitions, project financing (loaning funds for a specific investment plan), intermediation for exchange offers for existing securities, and other consulting services for various corporate financial issues. Today, while most firms focus on these corporate finance services, they also engage in a wide range of brokerage and dealership activities in the secondary market for public bonds and stocks, becoming comprehensive securities companies.
