Investments, Wealth and Fund Management

Banks and Investment Firms provide many forms of investment opportunities for their clients, they manage Investment Accounts and offer different Investment Products (Equities, Investment Units, Fixed Income instruments, Commodity Futures, etc) traded on stock exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC). In many cases, professional advisory is also provided, while making sure that the assessment of the customer's risk appetite is always on the radar.

Investment firms and banks also provide guidance to their corporate and government issuers regarding debt capital management. These institutions can also underwrite the bonds and equities issued by their clients in order to realize profit by sale on secondary market. They can help in the process known as initial public offering (IPO), determine how much capital the company needs, how many shares should be issued in the IPO and the starting share price.

Some credit institutes provide custodial services for several types of Funds (Investment, Mutual, Pension, Health Funds) and for Insurance Companies.
