Investment banking refers to a financial sector that facilitates the creation of capital for companies, governments, and other entities. This involves services like underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, securities trading, and offering financial advice. Investment banks help organizations raise funds through issuing stocks or bonds and also provide strategic guidance for corporate activities. These institutions play a pivotal role in the global financial ecosystem by connecting investors with opportunities and assisting businesses in achieving their financial objectives.

After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

I've been researching investment brokers and I'm really interested in working with someone trustworthy and reliable. With the recent market downturn I'm looking for a broker who can help me turn things around and make a profit Can anyone tell me about their experiences with any investment advisor..

[yunusnasir]

Afzal you are doing a great job. I am really impressed and grateful for your work. So well explained.

Should do what is a hedge fund next. Also it’d be great to do a video explaining the different types of hedge funds such as global macro, l/s etc

[TS-otes]

I like this series. Would it be possible to do a full IB mock interview?
Looking forward to your video with Heinrich!

I graduated in 2006. I wish this type of material was available back then. I really felt lost and confused at the time, trying to understand banks and the various roles.

Very cool rapid breakdown. Currently sitting at $120-$140k (profit) per month through my two businesses. Turning 21 this summer. Never graduated high school. I work on average 1-2 hours per day. What I do has nothing to do with crypto or trading. I simply serve clients. Investment banking is cool if you want an almost guaranteed lucrative career, but please remember there are other ways up the ladder these days. Online education will take over soon, and experience is worth much more than a diploma.

*Nice video !! I am convinced that the poor too could be rich, if they invest wisely and diversify their income. Investment isn’t a get rich scheme but key towards financial growth and stability*

[karl-felixschamel]

Great video! Looking foward to future episodes.
Would be great if next time you could go over something not as broad as investment banking and more in depth. But for the first few episodes that's fine, too, it just seemed a tiny bit hurried.

[GavraNwa]

Loved this! 🤩 Never would have thought that it would be possible to unpack IBD in 2 mins 🤣 From now on, I’ll be sending this as my explanation when people ask me what Investment Bankers actually do 😂😅

[AsadRizvi]

Investment Banking is not known as corporate banking that is another field on its own. Everything else is correct so great video!

[lifeisawesome]

Thank you Sir for putting it in short and simple words.

[kelvinchuttur]
