what is the difference between "corporate banking" & "investment banking" or are they the same?

Answer 1

Corporate Banking primarily deals with account management for institutions. For example, you are a pharmaceutical company wanting to expand. But, you require more money to fund the capital expenditures for new research equipment. You go to the Corporate Banking group to finance your expansion plans using the Commercial Bank's money.

In Investment Banking, the banker would look for other corporations or lenders who will loan you money. Investment bankers are intermediaries, while corporate banking are internal account management using the bank's funds.

Investment Bankers are deal makers who do mergers & acquisitions, underwriting securities, whether equities or debt.

Answer 2

Corporate bankers are a*ss holes.

Investment bankers are bastards.
