Banking and Securities M&A Outlook Opportunities Amid Uncertainty Banking and securities M&A outlook Opportunities amid uncertainty Brochure / report title goes here | Section title goes here 2 Banking and securities M&A outlook | Opportunities amid uncertainty Overview and outlook Following 2015’s record resurgent year for banking and securities mergers and acquisitions (M&A), first-half 2016 activity was tempered somewhat by persistent low interest rates and elevated regulatory pressure on the investment banking industry. While dealmaking increased in the latter part of the year— with higher deal values than the sector has seen in some time—post-election uncertainty may slow 2017 M&A until greater clarity emerges around the coming regulatory landscape. Even so, large national banks are likely to continue strategic While financial technology (fintech) acquisitions have divestitures to trim their expenses and footprint, shedding historically focused on revenue-enhancement opportunities, non-core businesses and those which don’t generate sufficient we see greater value-creation opportunities today return on investment.

The unprecedented climate challenge requires the use and the development of new tools in order to quantify these risks and investigate the role of different policies to steer the transition in the right direction. Central banks and financial regulators can play an essential role in facilitating a successful transition by directing the funds needed to achieve this transition in the right direction and in a timely manner. However, any intervention by central banks should be evaluated across sectors and across scenarios in order to guarantee the effectiveness, efficiency and coherence with fiscal policies. Our methodology is scenario analysis based on a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Our CGE model allows us to capture feedback loops across sectors, along with tracking the change in prices and quantities following an exogenous change in policies, technologies, or consumer preferences. Moreover, in order to capture both risks and opportunities associated to the transition process, our model distinguishes between green and grey sub-sectors. It also uses sector-specific capital stocks which allows us to differentiate the cost of capital across sectors/scenarios.

  • Investment Banking and Security Market Development: Does Finance
    Investment Banking and Security Market Development: Does Finance Follow Industry?∗ Bharat N. Anand† Alexander Galetovic‡ Harvard University Universidad de Chile February 2001 Abstract This paper looks at the industrial organization of the investment banking industry. Long- term relationships between business firms and investment banks are pervasive in developed security markets. A vast literature argues that better monitoring and information result from relationships. Thus, security markets should allocate resources better when an investment bank- ing industry exists. We study necessary conditions for sustainable relationships and then explore whether policy can do something to foster them. We argue that the structure of investment banking is determined by the economics of the technology of relationships: (i) Sunk set up cost to establish a relationship. (ii) The firm pays the investment bank only when it does a deal. (iii) To a significant degree the investment bank cannot prevent other banks from free riding on the information created by the relationship. Then: (a) Relationships can emerge in equilibrium only if the industry is an oligopoly of large investment banks with similar market shares. (b) Relationships are for large firms–small firms are rationed out of relationships by investment banks. (c) Scale economies due to entry costs are irrelevant when the market is large but can prevent an industry from emerging when the market is small. While policy can probably remove obstacles that increase the costs of relationships, the size- distribution of business firms determines whether an investment banking industry is feasible: it will not emerge if large firms are few. In this sense, “finance follows industry.” Large firms can escape this limitation by listing in foreign developed security markets.

New Regulation and Its Impact 3 On Capital Markets Businesses Europe: Beyond the Crisis, New Challenges 31 And Opportunities Asia: The Future of Corporate and 37 Investment Banking Out of the Shadows: Central Clearing of 56 Repurchase Agreements Winning in Flow: Scale Is Everything 83 Foreword 1 Foreword our years after the financial crisis, the agenda for change within the F global corporate and investment banking (CIB) industry remains signifi- cant. In this compendium, we bring together five articles published over the past year that serve as a ready reckoner for the CIB agenda—not just for capital markets and banking, but also for critical components of the bank- ing infrastructure that supports funding. Day of Reckoning explores the impact of new regulation on capital markets businesses. After-tax return on equity for these businesses is likely to fall from 20 percent pre-regulation to 7 percent, absent any mitigating actions by banks. We suggest strategies that banks can pursue to manage the impact of regulation on their capital markets businesses and to maintain an accept- able level of profitability. We examine portfolio optimization, model and data quality improvements, financial efficiency and operational enhancements. In Europe: Beyond the Crisis, New Challenges and Opportunities, we review the impact of new regulation on corporate banking businesses. De- spite significant reductions in credit costs, profits remain well below 2007 peaks in these businesses. Many of the mitigation strategies for capital markets businesses are relevant to restoring profitability to corporate bank- ing.

  • Overview of the Banking and Investment Industry a Document Created by Maddie Judge, Mbiol Biology, Pembroke College, University of Oxford
    Overview of the Banking and Investment Industry A document created by Maddie Judge, MBiol Biology, Pembroke College, University of Oxford I have recently completed the first year of my undergraduate degree in Biology at Pembroke College. I cannot claim to have any experience in finance or investment, but I was eager to find out about the sector and explore opportunities for learning. This document is aimed at people considering a career in financial services. Its purpose is to demystify the industry, to explain the different areas within it and the skills required, to clarify some of the terminology and to recommend resources for further research. Investment banks and other providers of financial services providers vary in their structures and the services they offer. The attached diagram gives an overview of the key areas and their functions. It explains the differences between front office (revenue generating), middle office (supporting front office, often with regulatory roles) and back office (general functions common to all firms). Most Oxford graduates tend to work in front office, although some end up in middle and back office, often in IT or in legal and accounting roles. Throughout the document I have highlighted complex financial terms in blue and in the Key Terms section below, I explain this financial jargon used in banking in plain English. For terms that are not included use the online financial dictionary, Investopedia’s dictionary is a useful tool. 1 Front Office - Customer-facing function, responsible for revenue generation Investment Banking/Corporate Finance - Markets - SECURITIES Fund/Asset/Investment Management - INVESTING ADVISORY Sales and Trading Fund managers design and implement investment strategies (choosing markets, combining equities, bonds Clients are mainly companies and private equity Clients are mainly institutional investors (i.e.
