Introducing iBanker Nightly

Good night, everyone, welcome to the iBanker Nightly!

The idea to start this blog came to me after about a year of relating my investment banking experience in a leading Japanese securities house in another blog knarkh.livejournal.com. This blog will be different in several respects:

1. This blog will be more professional. Main topics that I intend to cover will be investment banking and financial markets in general, their specifics in Japan, and business between Japan and Europe/Russia.
2. I hope this blog will become a place of discussions and knowledge sharing on the subjects metioned above.
3. Most obviously, the primary language of this blog will be English, although posts in Russian and Japanese will occasionally appear where relevant.

Why iBanker Nightly?

First of all, investment banking is an industry of notoriously long working hours, so many posts will appear late into the night. Secondly, as I am in Japan, my daytime posts will appear at night for the readers in the U.S.

Welcome again, and I hope I can make this blog a good combination of value and fun.

Yours,
Knarkh

Both claims are usually weak at best, but they are made elaborately and extensively, and the resulting multi page document often looks impressive. 2. Typical structure A pitch book will have varying structure depending on what product is being proposed, but there is a lot of similarities. Below is o...
