9 Investment Banks
Investment Banks are investment institutions which are formed to provide to investors, particularly smaller ones having small savings, the benefits of diversified investment and skilled management in the sphere of investment in industrial securities. These institutions sell their shares or units to small investors to mobilize their savings. These savings are invested in shares, debentures, bonds and loans of profitmaking joint stock companies. The investments are diversified, that is, made in securities of a sufficiently large number of companies, generally from different industries, using professional management skills. This reduces the investment risk and ensures reasonable income from the investments.
