Investment bankers are finance professionals who
primarily operate as financial advisors. Generally
employed by financial institutions, investment
bankers provide financial consulting and work to
raise capital for individuals, corporations,
governmental entities, and other organizations.
Investment bankers also sometimes provide private
placement assistance.

 A private placement is a private sale of securities to
a limited number of investors. A private placement
differs from an initial public offering, in which
securities are released for sale on a public market.
A benefit of a private placement is that the issuer
does not need to complete a registration process
with the Securities and Exchange Commission
because of the small nature of the sale. A private
placement also enables an issuing firm to remain
private and structure complex investments for
specific, sophisticated investors rather than the
general public.
