Is there any difference between Merchant banking n Investment banking?

0

In banking, a merchant bank is a traditional term for an Investment Bank. Investment banks help companies and governments raise money by issuing and selling securities in the capital markets (both equity and debt), as well as providing advice on transactions such as mergers and acquisitions. A majority of investment banks also offer strategic advisory services for mergers, acquisitions, divestiture or other financial services for clients, such as the trading of derivatives, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodity, and equity securities. The modern merchant banks, however, tend to advise corporations and wealthy individuals on how to use their money. The advice varies from counsel on Mergers and acquisitions to recommendation on the type of credit needed. The job of generating loans and initiating other complex financial transactions has been taken over by investment banks and private equity firms.
