SCOPE OF THE REPORT
In the whole report we basically wanted to show the details of ICML’S functions. We
described how it actually performs investment banking function in the real world. To
show that we basically emphasized on its three major functions-underwriting, issue
management, portfolio management etc. we then outlined how successfully it is
performing its function throughout the years after its debut in the investment banking
industry in 2002. We also went through detailed analysis of its financial performance
up to last year.
METHODOLOGY
To prepare the report, we collected secondary data. We collected the annual reports
of ICML for the years 2003-2004 to 2006-2007. We also visited the website of ICML
for collecting necessary information. We have also consulted with a Liaison Officer of
ICM for knowing the details of their each function. We have also gone through the
text book to understand those investment banking functions easily.
LIMITATIONS
Although ICML has a perfect and healthy web site, it did not help us much in
preparing the report. The reason is that we needed many internal information of how
they conduct their operations practically that was not available in their website. The
annual report also has not given any practical guideline of their basic operations
where we mainly focused on. Moreover there was time constraint also. So as far as
the limitation is concerned we had tough condition in gathering all the necessary
information.
In spite of the limitations we tried our best to represent the company’s overall
functions and performance as an investment banker.

INVESTMENT BANKING OF BANGLADESH
Throughout the world the security market can be classified in two categories- primary
and secondary market. The primary market involves with the distribution of newly
issued securities among the investors and the participant in the market place that
work with the issuers to distribute the newly issued securities are called investment
bankers. The process of investment banking is also synonymous to merchant
banking. The process of investment banking is basically leaded by security houses
and commercial banks.
Merchant banks are private financial institutions. Their primary sources of income are
PIPE (Private Investment in Public Entities) financing and international trade. Their
secondary sources of income are consulting, Merger and Acquisition help and
financial market speculation. Because they do not invest against collateral, they take
for greater risks than traditional banks. As they are private they do not take money
from the public and are international in scope, they are not regulated. Anyone
considering dealing with any merchant bank should investigate the bank and its
managers before seeking their help.
Investment bankers typically perform three activities

1. Advising the investor on the time and timing of public offering.
2. Buying the securities from the issuer which is also known as underwriting.
3. Distributing the issue to the public.
ROLE OF INVESTMENT BANKING IN CAPITAL MARKET
Investment banks play a vital role to develop a countries capital market. In

Bangladesh this function is basically played by ICB. But now this part is performed by
the newly established subsidiary company of ICB, ICML.
This investment banks continuously update themselves about the current economic
information and economic cycle. So eventually they learn which may be the best
moment to issue a new security. Without investment bankers help the issuers
needed the go through the costly and time consuming procedure of market analysis.
Moreover this decision can be misleading because of there lack of skill.

3
On the other hand it is helpful to determine the stock issue price by an outside
specialist to avoid any sort of biasness and misjudgment.
Investment bankers also help to share the risk involved in issuance of securities.
Because they guarantee the sale of securities and if they cannot sale the securities
to individuals they finance the company though buying the residual amount.
The whole process of issuance is involved with legal and time consuming
procedures. The investment bankers step out and serve the issuing company with
their specialized knowledge.
LAW REGARDING MERCHANT BANK

Merchant banking under a formal legal framework is a relatively new concept in
Bangladesh. SEC formulated a regulation in 1996 on merchant banking. Activities
namely, SEC (Merchant Banker & Portfolio manager) , Regulations 1996.
As per regulation, a merchant bank is allowed to perform four types of operations.
1. Issue management
2. Underwriting
3. Portfolio Management
4. Corporate Advising
