    The investment-banking industry was constrained during the Depression of the 1930s, wheWall Street firms such as that founded by Morgan were split into commercial banks andsecurities houses. The lattertoday's investment banksunderwrite stocks and bonds andadvise companies on mergers and acquisitions, rather than collect deposits and make loans.the 1980s and 1990s they developed a reputation for gluttonous excess. But a lot has changsince then.

    Intensely private partnerships have become publicly traded companies. Commercial bankssuch as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase have muscled back into investment banking. And

    European warhorses such as Deutsche Bank, UBS and Credit Suisse have joined the race fglobal supremacy. The bets, and the profits, have got bigger, though investment banks aretrying to keep quiet about that, for several reasons.First, they are under more scrutiny. Wall Street firms had their wings clipped by Eliot Spitz

    New York's former attorney-general, for plugging worthless shares during the dotcom era.Being publicly traded companies has tamed some egos, too. Star traders do not enjoy thesame headroom on salaries (albeit very large salaries) as they did when they were partners

    the business. At UBS, a Swiss bank which in 2000 moved into the American equity marketby merging with PaineWebber, a brokerage, fiefs are explicitly banned.Meanwhile another group has overtaken the investment banks in the excess stakes: theirmoney-spinning clients in the private-equity and hedge-fund industries. Already they thro

    the biggest parties, do the boldest deals and launch the most celebrated initial publicofferings. The IPO of part of Blackstone, a private-equity group, might well raise moremoney than Goldman Sachs's did in 1999, when even the company's doormen and drivers

    became extremely rich.

    Even if they are no longer the pioneers, the investment banks have played a crucial part inbringing about the extraordinary changes seen in the financial markets, starting in the 1980sand accelerating dramatically in the past five years. Technology and innovation have broughtunprecedented breadth, depth and richness to financial instruments. According to McKinsey,

    a consultancy, the stock of shares and public and private debt securities held in America grewfrom 2.4 times GDP in 1995 to 3.3 times in 2004. In Europe the increase was even moredramatic, albeit from a lower base. These figures do not include derivatives, notional amountsof which traded privately, or over-the-counter securities, which had soaredto $370 trillionby last June, from $258 trillion less than two years earlier, according to the Bank forInternational Settlements (BIS). Given such torrid growth, the markets are becomingincreasingly vital to global financial stability.

    EVEN by its own notoriously cyclical standards, investment banking has been on a stomach-

    churning ride in the past five years. After an apparently golden age, with quarter after quarter

    of record profits, came the bursting of the debt bubble, a deluge of red ink and bail-outs; then,

    last year, firms bounced back obscenely quickly thanks to record trading profits. Now they

    are being squeezed once more, and this time the slump may last.

    American banking giants third-quarter results, starting with JPMorgan Chase on October

    13th, will show that trading revenues fell by perhaps 20-30% from the previous quarter. With

    nervy investors sitting on their hands, client activity was painfully slow across the board

    IN THE early years of this decade, when banks did quaint things like making money, the

    mantra on Wall Street was: Be more like Goldman Sachs. Bank bosses peered enviously at

    the profits and risk-taking prowess of the venerable investment bank. No longer. Be less like

    Goldman Sachs is the imperative today.

    Of the five independent investment banks open for business at the start of the year 2008, only

    Goldman and Morgan Stanley remain.Spreads on their credit-default swaps, which protect

    against the risk of default, soared as investors digested the implications of Lehman Brothers

    demise.

    ValuationMethodoligies

    What are themost commonlyused ValuationMethodologies..??

    There is no one way to establish what a business is worth. That's because businessvalue means different things to different people. In determining value, there are severalbasic analytical tools that are commonly used by financial analysts. The methods, tovalue a company, have been developed over several years of research and refinementand are based on financial theory and market reality. However, these tools/methods arejust the tools/methods and should not be viewed as final judgment, but rather, as astarting point to determining value. Three most common used valuation methodologiesinclude:

    1) Comparable Company Analysis (Trading Comps): TradingComps methodology uses the multiples to value a company byassuming that it should be worth similar multiples to similarlisted companies. The multiples can be Enterprise Value (EV)based multiples like EV/ Sales, EV/EBITDA or EV/EBIT, andEquity based multiples like Price to Earnings (P/E).

    2) Precedent Transaction Analysis (Deal Comps): Deal Compsmethodology involves the post M&A / Deals analysis to aid thecorrect valuation for future M&A / Deals prospects within thesame industry. Deal Comps are very similar to trading comps

    except deal comps utilize actual transactions instead of publiclytraded companies as the universe of comparable companies.

    3) Discounted Cash Flows Analysis (DCF Valuation): In

    addition to the multiples approach (Deal comps and Tradingcomps), another useful technique for valuation is DiscountedCash Flows (DCF) analysis. DCF analysis is a fundamentalvaluation methodology that derives the value of acompany/business from the present value of its forecasted freecash flows.

    With Trading Comps, we arrive at at the trading multiples to compare the operating andtrading statistics of the company with its peer group. This methodology uses theratios/multiples to value a company by assuming that it should be worth similarmultiples to similar listed companies. Deal comps or Precedent Transaction comps, onthe other hand, involve the post mergers and acquisitions analysis to aid the correctvaluation for future M&A prospects within the same industry.

    The use of transaction comps, differs from using trading comps, in that the value isbased on the level at which transactions have occurred, rather that the level at whichpeers trade. The trading multiples do not reflect control premiums or potentialsynergies from a buyer. Deal comp multiples can be higher or lower than trading compmultiples; higher due to control premiums (premiums paid for a controlling stake in acompany) and/or potential synergies, such as cost savings and revenue synergiesresulting from a combination of the two entities; lower due to lack of liquidity andsmaller size, etc.

    calculate multiples

    Career In InvestmentBanking

    9

    Dictionary defines investment as the money that people or organizations have put into a

    company, business, or bank in order to get a profit, or to make a business activity successful

    (Longman). An investment banker is someone whose job is to make investments as

    successful and as profitable as possible. It is investment bankers job to use the knowledge of

    the market and economy in advising his/her clients on a variety of financial matters.

    Investment bankers perform a wide range of finance-oriented functions. They control the

    issuance of stock and oversee its sale to the public. They analyze the probability of success

    of a single stock, or a whole area of public companies. They also recommend and execute

    merger strategies, as well as the buy and sell bonds. Because of such a wide range of tasks,investment bankers should not limit their education to a single major of study.

    To get the most money and the most satisfaction out of a career in investment banking, a

    person should try to graduate from the most prominent university. Various schools offer

    excellence in various areas of study. A university can have the best finance division in the

    world, yet its accounting or economics department may not even make it to the top fifty

    rankings.

    Choosing the right university is very important since most students have preferences not only

    in terms of academic reputation, but also with regard to location, price, diversity, admissionstandards, and many other factors. To be an investment banker a student does not have to

    select one specific major of study or graduate from a specific university. He or she can

    pursue a career in this field with a degree in accounting, actuarial science, agricultural

    economics, business communication, economics, finance, history, industrial management,

    international business, logistics management, managerial economics, marketing, physics,

    political science, risk management, or statistics, to name a few.

    In addition, it is always helpful to get more than one degree, or complement any of the

    degrees mentioned above with a degree in law or business law. Due to the variety of

    educational programs, students must evaluate their skills and interests in order to select amajor that would suit them the most and that would aide in amplifying those skills.

    Interests needed to be an Investment Banker

    A career in investment banking requires a variety of skills. Communication, creativity,

    analytical skills, and people skills are a must in the field of investment banking. In addition,

    initiative, and some basic sales abilities are also quite helpful.

    TITLE 1

    In order to succeed in this profession a person must be able to deal with people as well

    computers and numbers. Versatility and broad knowledge base can provide an extra edge f

    an investment banker. In the course of a career, an investment banker may have t

    opportunity to work for companies in every single field. The more a banker knows about t

    field or the company he/she is hired by, the higher are his/her chances of success.

    The market for investment bankers has been booming since the 1980s, and it is becomi

    increasingly easer to find a job in the banking industry. A degree in virtually every major

    study will do. Professionals from almost any career field can join the banking indust

    without needing additional education. A degree in finance and economics is always helpf

    but it does not necessarily provide an advantage at the entry level. People with degrees

    liberal arts may have a tougher time entering the industry than people with degree

    engineering or medicine. Investment banks are always on the lookout for people willing a

    able to deal with challenges that the job imposes.

    To find the perfect job an investment banker may have to travel. It does not necessarily me

    that he/she must leave everything and move to New York, although spending some time

    Wall Street will help an investment banker gain a better perspective on the business wor

    and help in future career mobility. However, New York is no longer the hottest market f

    investment bankers. Great Britains growing economy propelled London to be the best pla

    to find a banking job by offering higher wages as well as a higher rate of upward mobilit

    Other European countries with an enormous desire to hire investment bankers are German

    Poland, France, and Hungary. The banker job markets in Australia, New Zealand, and Sou

    Africa are also showing an increased interest in hiring quality banking professionals. Plac

    such as Russia and Ukraine are to be avoided because despite their booming market f

    professionals in the banking industry, the economic markets in those countries are t

    unstable. The Asian market is booming; however, with a thousand applicants per positi

    available, entry in that market is very difficult (Wall Street Journal Online). Even though t

    business world does revolve around New York, there are a lot of great jobs in the bankiindustry all over the world. In this global market, knowing a foreign language can provide

    investment banker with an additional edge in searching for a job.

    Investment banking is one of the very few professions were there are virtually no limitatio

    on income. It provides excellent wages and a high potential for upward mobility.

    addition, investment bankers can apply their professional skills and knowledge to grow the

    personal investments. This knowledge gives an investment banker the ability to determi

    where and when to invest to gain the optimal returns. In fact, some of the companies a

    looking at the performance of investment bankers personal portfolio when making hiri

    decisions.

    The entry-level salaries in investment banking are relatively low considering the hours one

    has to put in. However, salary is not the most significant factor in finding the first job

  • 8/7/2019 Finshastra Mid Feb

    11/18

    11

    The advantages of making good contacts and learning from the best far outweigh the

    financial difficulties that lower salary may impose. In addition, it is doubtful that an entry-

    level analyst will have the time to worry about his/her salary. However, after a few years of

    experience, wages raises dramatically.

    Note: This table is based upon conversations with banking insiders about yearly bonuses

    expected to be paid between December 2010 and February 2011. MM denotes millions. K

    denotes thousands of US dollars.

    The basic entry position in investment banking is a financial analyst. An analyst is required

    to analyze financial reports, gather and analyze information, prepare financial plans, and

    make predictions regarding the outcome of future deals. Analyst is expected to do a lot of

    reading, and to be up to date with all the latest trends of the business world. Wall Street

    Journal and other business periodicals are essential for analyst. In addition, personal lifestyle

    of the analyst is severely restricted by extended working hours, which range form 70 to 120hours per week.

    An analyst holds a great deal of responsibly, as analysts provide the foundation for most

    investment decisions. However, despite all the challenges, the burnout percentage is fairly

    low. Only eight percent of financial analysts leave their jobs in pursuit of a career in a

    different field (Princeton Review). The primary reason for such a low percentage is the fact

    that most people know what they are getting into. They enjoy the challenges and patiently

    wait for the rewards. After three to five years, an analyst is usually promoted to a junior

    associate position.

    Junior associate has mostly the same duties as an analyst. Fortunately, an associate may have

    several analysts on his or her staff to help reduce the workload. An associates job is simple,

    make the boss look good (James Libman). Although the job is still tedious, the pay is

    improving.

  • 8/7/2019 Finshastra Mid Feb

    12/18

    12

    A junior associate must be very flexible and willing to travel. It is not uncommon to be

    receiving orders to fly to the other side of the planet tomorrow and to stay there indefinitely.

    Some of the other crucial skills for an associate are finding compatible companies, dealing

    with huge egos, performing well in groups, taking control of meetings, and arranging for

    client meeting. The ability to use Excel and generate spreadsheets in your sleep(James

    Libman). The ability to work under pressure is also very important. Impossible deadlines are

    a part of the daily routine for an associate.

    Benefits of a Career in Investment Banking

    Investment banking provides the perfect opportunity to learn about money. The ability to

    invest properly can secure a persons financial independence.

    Another benefit of a career in investment banking is the ease of entry. A degree in virtually

    every area of study will enable a person to secure a position as ether an analyst or an

    associate. Additionally, with booming market, finding a job has never been easer.

    A career in investment banking may also provide an excellent opportunity to see the world.

    Expect to do quite a bit of traveling in the early stages of a banking career. It is verycommon for banker to visit more cities and countries around the world by the age of twenty-

    five, thenmost people do in a lifetime.

    A high salary is an important factor in deciding on a career. Investment banking offers a

    salary range almost without bounds. Salaries as high as $235,000 are available straight out of

    business school (Careers in Finance). Later in the career, a salary can grow to as much as

    seven or eight digits.

    Drawbacks of a Career in Investment Banking

    Extremely long hours and relatively low salaries at the first stages of the career in investment

    banking as well as strenuous work schedule may be significant drawbacks. It takes a lot of

    hard work and patience in order to succeed in this field. Constant pressure to meet deadlines

    and a lot of nights spent sleeping in the office can serve as a major deterrent for entering the

    field of investment banking. In addition, the job may require a banker to constantly move

    around the world. In order to succeed in investment banking one must be willing to give up

    his/her social and personal life for a few years.

  • 8/7/2019 Finshastra Mid Feb

    13/18

    13

    Investment banker is required to design, analyze, and execute a variety of business transaction

    with the ultimate goal to maximize financial profit. To succeed as an investment banker a perso

    must be determined, goal oriented, and dedicated. An investment banker must posses

    communicational, analytical, and interpersonal skills.

    A college graduate with a degree in an assortment of majors of study with a strong analytica

    ability should consider investment banking as a possible career choice. Investment bankin

    offers a challenging and exciting career that provides substantial financial rewards. With higsalaries and good prospect for upward mobility, investment banking may be an excellent caree

    choice for anyone who is interested in business and finance.

    If you are considering a career in business or finance and are interested in working with people

    you should consider a career in investment banking. To decide if investment banking is a righ

    career option for you, you should talk to investment bankers. Find and talk to bankers who are i

    different stages of their careers in order to gain insights about the field. Try getting som

    information from the investment banks. Getting an internship at an investment bank would n

    only provide you with a wealth of information about the career, but would also allow you to star

    developing a network of contacts. You should also lookup the references attached to this repo

    for some additional information.

    He's a "crown prince" when it comes to performance, but he has one huge handicap:

    He doesn't speak German

    Anshuman Jain (born 1963 in Jaipur , Rajasthan India) is a financier of Indian descent. He isa member of Deutsche Banks Management Board and, as head of the Corporate andInvestment Bank since July 2010, is globally responsible for Deutsche Banks corporatefinance, sales and trading, and transaction banking business.

    Jain studied economics at Shri Ram College of Commerce at Delhi University, earning abachelor's degree with honors in 1983. He continued with a Master of Finance at theUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst through 1985.

    After having finished university he started as an analyst in derivatives research at KidderPeabody & Co. (now part of UBS) where he worked from 1985 to 1988. After three years he

    joined Merrill Lynch in New York where he founded and led the securities industrys firstdedicated hedge fund coverage group.

    In 1995 Jain joined Deutsche Banks nascent markets business to set up and run a specialistunit focusing on hedge funds and institutional derivative coverage.

    The appointment of Anshu Jain as sole head of Deutsche Bank's (DB) investment bank puthim in charge of more than 80 percent of the company's profit and reinforced his position as afront-runner to become chief executive. One catch: He was born in India and doesn't speakGerman, a potential handicap for an executive who must negotiate the corridors of political

    power as well as global markets. "Based on performance, Jain is the crown prince," says LutzRoehmeyer, who helps manage about $15 billion at Landesbank Berlin Investment in theGerman capital. "But Deutsche Bank has a split personalitya global investment bank beingrun out of London and a German lender with a very political role. Any successor's key

    challenge will be bridging these two worlds."

    He took over the debt sales and trading division in 2001 and in 2004 was named co-head ofthe investment bank, with Michael Cohrs, who is retiring this year. Jain helped buildDeutsche Bank into a fixed-income powerhouse, more than doubling debt sales and tradingrevenue between 2000 and 2009. The investment banking division generated 78 percent ofthe bank's pretax earnings in the first half of this year.

    These days Jain, trim and graying, projects the poise and confidence of a seasoned investmentbanker. His speech, direct and precise, still carries a faint Indian accent. A cricket player andgolfer, he's competitive in both work and sport, colleagues say, and relishes opportunities to

    prove his doubters wrong. He held a stake in the Mumbai Indians, a cricket team, until sellingit last year.

    Deutsche Bank shone a light on Anshu Jain's compensation for the first time today,revealing in its annual report that its head of global markets earned 7.8m ($10.7m) in

    compensation for the final nine months of 2009 after joining the management board.

    The figure suggests his overall compensation for the year was roughly level with that of chiefexecutive Josef Ackermann, who was the highest paid board member earning 9.6m.
