Barclays Capital's Investment Banking Division (IBD) provides comprehensive financial advisory, capital raising, financing and risk management services to corporations, governments and financial institutions worldwide. We take an integrated approach to client coverage, giving clients access to bankers who have industry, product, and geography-specific expertise across all investment banking products.
A role in Investment Banking involves maintaining relationships and providing the full range of the firm’s services to financial institutions, government agencies or corporate clients.
Fundamental analysis and research into companies and markets is the starting point in Investment Banking. This offers an opportunity to work with teams across the firm, delivering more integrated and creative solutions for our clients.
Initially, you may spend your time developing ideas and solutions to pitch to clients. Following that, you may work on live deals involving products such as mergers, acquisitions, rights issues, bonds and risk management products. As your relationship-management skills develop, you’ll be given more responsibility for client coverage, and you may progress to full account management responsibility for multi-national corporations.
Generating new business is an important part of the role. It demands an understanding of complex issues as well as the ability to analyse transactions from different angles and create alternative solutions. Looking at the bigger picture in terms of client needs and wider market issues is also important.
