Introduction
There are a number of divisions that make up an
investment bank, usually divided into ‘front office, ‘middle
office’and ‘back office’.
Front Office: bringing in the bacon
Front office roles exist to generate revenue for the bank and make as
much profit as possible for their clients. Traders, brokers, asset
managers, researchers, and sales and structuring professionals are
the key players of the front office line up.
Front Office
• Modern front office roles are a far cry from the incessant shouting
down phones in years gone by.
• There are still essential deadlines to meet, though the heat of the working
environment may not be as intense as in the front office.
