Investment Banking

Our Investment Banking teams deliver high-quality strategic advice and creative financing solutions to our clients, including mergers and acquisitions, financing, and risk management transactions.

What We Do

We pride ourselves in our resourcefulness and work on a variety of initiatives. On any given day, our work could include advising a company on a cross-border merger, structuring the initial public offering of a subsidiary, refinancing an outstanding bond and more.

As a division, our strategic objectives include:

  • To be the world’s preeminent investment bank – trusted advisor, financier and risk manager for our clients on their most important transactions
  • Build long-term relationships with clients and bring them world-class execution by “delivering the firm” over time
  • Drive superior returns for our stakeholders
  • Be the employer of choice for all career levels by providing a highly dynamic, meritocratic, diverse and rewarding workplace
How We’re Organized

Who We Look For

Working in Investment Banking, you will be helping clients solve some of their most critical financial and strategic challenges. We’re looking for candidates who will thrive in a dynamic environment where multitasking and time management skills are essential.

You should be comfortable working with numbers and be an analytical thinker. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are needed in order to work successfully with clients and team members.

“Every day you are doing something different, like helping draft a roadshow document so that a client can raise capital for growth… or advising a company in an acquisition.”
