Corporate & Investment Banking 

The significant market turmoil that has occurred recently has impacted on investment banking in both financial and reputational terms. Amongst other things this has put a renewed focus on risk management, cost control initiatives and the evolving discussions around the regulatory regimes. As global investment banking businesses need to think and act across borders, KPMG coordinates our member firms’ services to assist in addressing these challenges.

Our multinational investment banking teams are led by senior partners who have a wealth of global client experience and relationships with many of the major market players, regulators and leading industry bodies. We listen to our firms’ clients and understand. The result is a focus on the issues that really matter such as:

  • Growth — A fundamental to operating globally. While there have been few recent mergers and acquisitions, one of the main competitive threats in the industry comes from sectors such as hedge funds.
  • Performance — the focus in the investment banking industry has until recently always been on top-line growth, rather than cost control and efficiency. Focus on people and cost management show these institutions must learn to manage through the good times and more pertinently the bad.
  • Governance — good quality governance, internal controls and reporting are critical in an industry that thrives on risk. Although there continues to be examples of catastrophic breakdowns in controls, leading to major trading losses, these reiterate the need to manage risk.
