hello friends welcome to this investment-banking tutorial from wallstreetmojo
[15]
so I hope you know this provided a good glimpse of the different
[20]
kinds of functions investment banking is into so please note that this was more
[25]
for bird's eye view of individual departments and if you dig deep into it
[29]
you will find that you know it is a whole science all together within each
[32]
function and as an investment bank you know potential carriers if you want
[38]
to kind of look at you will note that the higher are key involves
[42]
different levels one it starts with an analyst then you move to an associate
[48]
then you become a vice president and then finally a Managing Director so
[52]
let's now look at how these roles and responsibilities are within an
[58]
investment bank through this video let us now look at some of the key players
[63]
within the investment banking that domained let's take an example there's a
[68]
WNK investment bank and if you look at an investment bank you'll have these
[73]
different positions one of them would be called as associate there would be a
[77]
team of analysts then you'll find that someone by the name of vice president
[83]
will also be there and there'll be a couple of managing directors so what is
[88]
the role of individually each and everyone now within the investment bank
[91]
so let's talk about bottom of the food chain you know who who is the analyst
[97]
and what is the typical profile like so analyst is someone basically
[103]
whose main role is to kind of create financial models do company analysis do
[109]
some hardcore data punching so something like you know create a model from
[113]
scratch populate the historical do some industry research do some due
[117]
diligence create some pitch books so essentially unless role is all about
[123]
you know getting your hands dirty and and someone who is basically it's just a
[128]
graduate let's say in history or maybe finance is kind of eligible for this
[133]
kind of job so let's look at who are the
[138]
associates so associates primary role is basically that they check the work of
[144]
the analyst so they are one level up over and above the analyst so that's why
[150]
they're called as an associate they they write their texts for the presentations
[154]
they basically oversee the job of an analyst and they also sometimes interact
[160]
with clients as well as you know other investment banks who are presenting the
[165]
other side of the party or the client so they may they may interact so lot of
[169]
dirty work needs to be also done here in terms of financial analysis when when a
[174]
person is an associate so think of you know spending at least or four or five
[179]
years after you join an investment bank as an associate before you become
[184]
someone called a vice president now who is a vice president so obviously we are
[189]
moving up the hierarchy moving up the food chain so obviously vice president
[194]
would be overlooking the associates and the analysts but what is the key role
[199]
think of vice president as a project manager when we talk about investment
[204]
banks investment banks have to make lot of client presentations and handle
[210]
different kinds of verticals vice president to someone who is handling a
[214]
certain set of a project he handles the structure of the presentation before
[218]
going for the meeting how it should be looked like you know what is a pitch
[222]
book a design of a pitch book so all these thing needs to be managed and he
[227]
also talks to the senior investment bankers and the analysts and basically
[232]
the associates so all in all he is one of the most important guys within an
[238]
investment bank just a level below or the final one who is called as a
[243]
managing director so what's the role of a managing director managing director is
[247]
basically someone like father figure now his responsibility is to a kind of
[252]
develop an ultimate relationships assume that the managing director is
[257]
highly networked would be attending conferences would be meeting clients you
[261]
know debating and discussing things about valuations and going to high-level
[265]
meetings and managing directors may focus on one
[268]
of the industries and kind of develop relationships with the management and
[272]
obviously his primary role is to bring business to the company so he is the
[278]
he's the one who is at the top and is handling the the part where the sales or
[284]
the business comes from the investment bank
