Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Investment Banking for Absolute Beginners provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Investment Banking, helping you understand how Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), IPOs, Valuation, and Capital Markets operate in real business and financial environments. You will learn how companies raise capital through equity and debt, how investment banks advise on acquisitions and strategic transactions, and how complex deals are structured, negotiated, and executed. The course also explains how Enterprise Value, Comparable Companies, and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) concepts are used to estimate what businesses are worth, and how these valuations influence negotiations between buyers, sellers, and investors.
Beyond transactions, you will explore the broader ecosystem of modern finance, including Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Leveraged Buyouts, and how they interact with investment banks in funding growth and ownership changes. The course also examines global investment banking across the US, UK, and emerging markets, major industry players, real-world deal case studies, and the career path within investment banking. By the end, you will have a clear, practical understanding of how investment banking works, how major financial decisions are made, and how capital flows through the global economy without requiring prior finance or technical background.
