    An investment bank operates differently. An investment bank does not have an inventory of cash deposits to lend as a commercial bank does. An investment bank is a financial institution that engages in the issuance of securities on behalf of its client. An investment bank acts as an intermediary, and matches sellers of stocks and bonds with buyers of stocks and bonds. Investment banks are the banks, which facilitate both the investor, who is in search for good investment opportunity and the investee, who is searching for capital to invest in practical projects. Unlike other types of banks, investment banks do not accept deposits from customers; that is, investment banks do not provide regular banking services to the general public. The main investment banking activities are issuance of securities, underwriting of securities, providing financial related consultancy services to companies, assisting companies in the acquisition and mergers, and similar services. A few of the world renowned investment banks are JP Morgan, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Credit Suisse.…
