History (contd..) Modern banking finds its roots in Italy in the 13 th century. The cities financed its developmental activities and wars through issuance of bonds or from borrowing through public. World’s oldest known bank has its roots in Italy. It’s The Monte di Pietà , or Monte Pio set up in 1472.
The need for Investment Banks First stock market in Antwerp Belgium in 1531– sans the stock!! Limited liabilities companies came into existence in the 1600s to sponsor trade voyages to the East Indies from countries such as Britain, France etc. Investors spread their risk by investing in several different ventures at the same time, thereby playing the odds against all of them ending in disaster . This kind of business model led to risk management . Dutch East India company was the 1 st to allow outside investors to purchase shares.
The need for Investment Banks Share trading at the Jonathan coffee shop in London. Investors who wished to buy or sell securities posted the details at the coffee shop and the trade happened. A formal stock exchange was built in 1773. NYSE came around 19 years later.
Investment banks help companies and governments and their agencies to raise money by issuing and selling securities in the primary market. They assist public and private corporations in raising funds in the capital markets (both equity and debt), as well as in providing strategic advisory services for mergers, acquisitions and other types of financial transactions.

FRONT OFFICE
Front Office Pitching to various clients and institutions Setting the terms and conditions for any form of deal Trading of securities on behalf of clients In the process of market making, traders will buy and sell financial products with the goal of making an incremental amount of money on each trade. Sales desks communicate their clients' orders to the appropriate trading desks, who can price and execute trades, or structure new products that fit a specific need.
Research is the division which reviews companies and writes reports about their prospects, often with "buy" or "sell" ratings. Structuring has been a relatively recent division as derivatives have come into play, which involves creating complex structured products which typically offer much greater margins and returns than underlying cash securities.
MIDDLE OFFICE
Middle Office Middle office usually consists of traders, analysts, and managers who are knowledgeable of trading activities but usually don’t engage in market activities themselves . ( Chinese Wall Policy) Risk Management involves analyzing the market and credit risk that traders are taking onto the balance sheet in conducting their daily trades, setting limits on the amount of capital that they are able to trade in order to prevent 'bad' trades having a detrimental effect to a desk overall.
Another key Middle Office role is to ensure that the above mentioned economic risks are captured accurately (as per agreement of commercial terms with the client) correctly and on time (typically within 30 minutes of trade execution).
BACK OFFICE
Back Office Operations involves data-checking trades that have been conducted, ensuring that they are not erroneous, and transacting the required transfers. Every major investment bank has considerable amounts of in-house software, created by the Technology team, who are also responsible for Computer and Telecommunications-based support.

Need Gaps in the IB sector Front End IB is still at a very nascent stage in India and hence needs to be developed and promoted properly. The trust factor is still not been built up amongst the companies and investors. Here there is need of trained analysts to do the same. Lack of Investor knowhow Still concentrated only on the metros. Need to move to the tier-2 and tier-3 cities to tap in more potential investors.
Back End Need to develop more robust risk management systems. Use of better technology and systems required for 2 main purposes To keep track of an investor’s database better Bring in faster and more intelligent systems
