Investment Banking Market Analysis

Investment banks act as intermediaries between an issuer of securities and the investing public, distributing an offering through their dealer networks or direct sales to clients. Capital raising, proprietary trading, and deal underwriting are some of the core activities typically carried out by investment banks. 

The U.S. investment banking industry includes about 3,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $140 billion. The 50 largest firms generate more than 90 percent of the industry’s revenue.

Investment banking industry has not fully recovered from the aftermath of 2008 financial crisis. The post-crisis period has witnessed a flurry of constraints on the industry in the form of more stringent and intrusive regulations such as Pillar 3, meeting BCBS 239 in addition to IFRS 9 requirements and many other mandatory regulatory requirements which have been impacting the business behaviour as a whole. 

Fintech markets globally are evolving on a faster pace disrupting the end-to-end investment banking value chain. Blockchain is rapidly changing the face of cross-border lending activity.
