Capital Markets


This section contains all our capital markets jobs. Working in the capital markets division of an investment bank your duties could include originating, structuring, and syndicating. Origination specialists are usually senior capital markets bankers. It is their responsibility to travel and meet clients in an effort to gain insight into their financing needs and persuade them to offer business to the bank. This information is passed on to structurers, who in contrast, are desk-bound in their jobs.

Structuring specialists spend their time creating complex financial products to suit a company's financing needs as communicated to them by the originators.

It's up to the people on the syndication desk to ready the market for the sale. Their duties include calculating the best price range for the product in question, assessing demand, and making sure the correct documents are in place.

The capital markets divisions of investment banks are where financial products are born or "originated". It is there where capital markets bankers produce the securities used by companies and institutions who want to raise money on the public markets. Their two main products are stocks, which are traded on the equity capital markets, and bonds, traded on the debt capital markets.

Investment banks act as "underwriters" on behalf of the company issuing stocks or bonds. The "underwriting spread" is a fee which is charged in exchange for assuming the risk of issuing the securities and doing the necessary work to bring them to market.

Those who help companies raise money by issuing shares are known as equity capital markets (ECM) bankers. As underwriters, they guarantee that they will sell the shares the company is issuing for a certain price. The bank bears the responsibility of the sales, and if enough people to buy the shares at the price agreed with the client are not found, then the bank is obliged to buy the shares itself. These shares might be part of an initial public offering (IPO), or a rights issue.

Debt capital markets (DCM) or "fixed-income markets", meanwhile, deal with saleable units of debt in the form of bonds, including treasury bonds issued by governments, investment grade bonds issued by companies and high yield bonds, which are more likely to default and therefore pay a higher rate of return.

Jobs in capital markets divisions also include issuing more complex products, such as equity-linked securities - or bonds that can be converted into equities at a pre-arranged price - and derivatives.

Some likely careers and job titles in capital markets include: Senior Originator Specialty Lending; Risk Manager; Equity Derivatives Product Control; Junior FICC Structurer; and Debt Capital Markets Analyst, to name a few.

Candidates for this type of role in capital markets should have a strong analytical ability and statistical aptitude, strong communication skills, ability to manage multiple projects, and perseverance.
