In a few paragraphs, please explain what investment bankers actually do and address the question "What is the purpose of the prospectus when they publicly sell the shares?"

1.) Investment Banker?

Investment bankers are representatives that 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." The three main avenues investment bankers help companies raise money are Lending their expertise to companies to help determine the best way and best place to raise either debt or equity capital. Preparing all the necessary documents to accurately present investment opportunities for funding and to protect both the company and the investor from any mistakes. Ensuring that all government regulations are followed, as such ignorance could come back to bite them

2.) What is the purpose of the prospectus when they publicly sell the shares?

Usually they loan the money to borrowers and make their profit from the interest charged. Some investment bankers invest money into the stock market, usually a mutual fund. Other investment bankers invest money into new companies and make their profit from the borrower. Investment bankers have the ability to invest into thousands of ventures. Always best to make sure customers always check with your bank to confirm they are litigable investors.

    Investment bankers work with firms issuing new securities as both an advisor and intermediary in setting security prices, interest rates, and marketing the new securities for sale in the primary market (Bodie, Kane, & Marcus, 2008). The primary market is where firms are able to sell their new securities and obtain funds that are needed to increase their capital base. Firms issuing new securities are strategically working to raise funds; however, there is a potential risk that all the newly issued securities will not sell and the strategy to raise funds could fail. To mitigate this potential risk firms hire an investment banker as an underwriter.…

    I met traders and managers from big investment banks such as RBC, Morgan Stanley, and UBS. They talked to me about what they do, and how it ties into the rest of the stock market. I anticipated them to be cold, arrogant, and disdainful.Yet, to my surprise, not a single one of them seemed to be evil, corrupt, or in possession of a single malicious thought. They were delighted to share their career with a group of high schools students. Of all the people I met, Mr. Marshall, a senior portfolio manager from Morgan Stanley, stands out in my mind; he was extremely humble and spent extra time talking to me about trading strategies, such as technical analysis.…

The same situation has occurred in the company I work for, we started with eight employees, now have twenty-nine and we will soon be purchasing another facility which will include at least ten more employees. The difference is Marian's boss is willing to help her get professional assistance and my boss tells me to call our attorney if I don't know the answers. Unfortunately, our attorney is not an employment lawyer and I am not so sure how much to trust his answers.…
