The core of the investment banking role is raising money for the client. This is primarily done in two ways: by issuing equity and debt of the company. A company wanting to issue bonds hires an investment bank not only to help in structuring the bonds but also to tap the potential investors through their vast network. It works the same way for raising capital by selling equity, or stock. Investment bankers serve as the primary go-to people when a company holds an Initial Public Offer (IPO) to sell stock to the public. The role of investment bankers includes the determination of IPO price as well.
In today’s constantly evolving and highly competitive business environment, the finance function in an organisation has taken the centre stage.

It is essential to have deep and thorough knowledge of finance and its linkage with other functions as applied to corporate and financial institutions.
