you should allow comments as there are so many blogs in this universe for which no one cares. If someone is taking pain to read your blog and comment on it, you should respect that.

Victor,

I am not coercing anyone into reading my blog, so I don't see where the pain comes from.

In any case, I don't see how comments like "asdfasdf" or "I heard you were fired" from anonymous commentators make this blog any better, so I intend to stick to my guns.

Brian,

I do intend to, but to write a quality post takes some research, and I simply lack the time to do it at the moment.

Will post something by the end of the week.

Investment Banking Series: Pitch Books

Investment Banking Series Post 3 Pitch Books 1. What is it anyway? A pitch book is the paramount of days and nights of a banker's hard work. It is a marketing tool that tries to set apart basically very similar banks and to support the claim that THIS bank, and NO ANY OTHER should be selected to arrange the deal. They say pitch books used to be actual books, but in the present world they are Power Point presentations printed out and bound in a plastic cover. The main purpose of the pitch book is to deliver two messages to the prospective client: (1) "we understand your business very well", and (2) "when it comes to arranging your deal, we are the best fit". 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...

Invesment Banking Series: Roadshows

Investment Banking Series Post 7 Roadshows 1. What is it anyway? Roadshow is basically marketing of the firm issuing securities to the potential investors. CFO, CEO and a few more people from senior managers hit the road and make presentations to all kind of investors in both group and one-to-one meetings. The presentation's contents are typically heavily curated by investment bankers to make sure that the equity story is as smooth and persuasive as possible, and they show and tell only the positive sides of their business. There would be an explanation of the existing business, and the expansion plans that will be financed by the proceeds from fund-raising. It is actually also a good opportunity for junior bankers to meet the company that they spend many days and nights to make look good in the pitch book. And the savvy ones would make good use of it to connect with the CEOs and CFOs that in the future may benefit from their investment banking services. 2. Inv...

Investment Banking Series: Valuation Part 1

Investment Banking Series Post 4 Valuation, Part 1 1. What is it anyway? Valuation is the process of calculating and otherwise assessing the Enterprise Value (in case of equity) or any other appropriate metric to be used as a base for setting the fair price range for the offering. Along with the distribution network, the ability to produce the appropriate valuation is supposed to be the core expertise of an investment bank. There are books out there that would give you much detail on the valuation techniques. The one I would personally recommend is Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions . It's a step-by-step easy to follow practical description. I do not intend to go anywhere that far, and will just introduce the important concepts here. 2. The great myth and the not-so-impressive reality Valuation is often rumored to be a highly numerical and sophisticated procedure, both science and art, requiring in-depth understanding of financia...
