Investment banks employ investment bankers who help corporations, governments, and other groups plan and manage large projects, saving their clients time and money by identifying risks associated with the project before the client moves forward. In theory, investment bankers should be experts who have their finger on the pulse of the current investing climate. Businesses and institutions turn to investment banks for advice on how best to plan their development and investment bankers, using their expertise, tailor their recommendations to the present state of economic affairs.
