Investment banking in the modern sense was born Europe and America It was mainly sold by many in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Government bond Evolved from the financial institutions that discounted corporate bills. The early development of investment banks is mainly due to the following four factors.

Increasingly active

With the expansion of the scope and amount of trade, financing credit is objectively required, so some large businessmen with excellent reputation will use their accumulated wealth to become Merchant bank Home, specializes in financing and Bill acceptance Discount business This is the root cause of investment banks.

Rise and development

Infrastructure construction

Capitalist economy The rapid development of the transportation, energy and other infrastructure caused huge pressure, in order to alleviate this contradiction, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Europe and the United States set off the climax of infrastructure construction, this process is huge Capital requirement Investment banks have developed rapidly in the process of financing and financing.

Joint-stock company system

The emergence and development of shareholding system not only brought the West Economic system A profound revolution has also enabled investment banks to act as companies and The public The role of financial intermediary between the two was established.
In the early 20th century, the continuous prosperity of the western economy brought about the upsurge of the securities industry, which turned the bustling transaction of the securities market into a kind of fanatical currency speculation. Commercial banks rely on their strong Financial strength Frequently involved in the securities market, and even participate Securities speculation ; At the same time, the governments of various countries lack effective laws and regulatory institutions to regulate the development of the securities industry, which occurred from 1929 to 1933 Economic crisis It's a recipe for disaster.
The economic crisis directly led to the collapse of a large number of investment banks, and the securities industry was extremely depressed. This has made it clear to governments that: Bank credit The blind expansion and direct or indirect involvement of commercial banks are very risky Stock market right Economic security Is a major hidden danger. After 1933, the United States, Britain and other countries separated investment banking and commercial banking business, and carried out separate management, since then, a new independent investment banking industry rose in the depression of economic crisis.

In the 1980s, with the increasingly fierce market competition and the continuous development and improvement of financial innovation tools, the formation of this trend was further strengthened. Nowadays, investment banks have completely jumped out of the narrow business framework of traditional securities underwriting and securities brokerage, and formed a diversified business structure of securities underwriting and brokerage, private equity issuance, mergers and acquisitions, project financing, corporate finance, fund management, investment consulting, asset securitization, and venture capital.

After the 1980s, with the integration of the world economy, capital market and the rapid development of the information and communication industry, the former limitation of distance can no longer be a barrier for financial institutions, and business globalization has become an important issue whether investment banks can occupy the commanding heights in the fierce market competition.

For example, Merrill Lynch In infrastructure financing and Securities management Enjoy a high reputation, Goldman Sachs Known for research and underwriting, Salomon Brothers Commercial paper issuance and Corporate merger and acquisition First Boston is a leader in organizing syndicates and arranging private placements.

centralization

In the 1950s and 1960s, with the post-war economic and financial recovery and growth, the major consortia Competition and cooperation make Financial capital Increasingly concentrated, investment banks are no exception. Due to business competition from commercial banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, such as Revenue bond Marketing, Eurodollar syndicate And so on, more intensified the concentration of investment banking. In this situation, the major investment banking industry has passed Merger and acquisition , reorganization, listing and other means to expand the scale. For example, the merger of Merrill Lynch and Whitewald, Swiss bank Company acquisition British Warburg, etc. Large-scale mergers and acquisitions made the business of investment banks highly concentrated.
