He then worked for what are called bulgebracket investment banks, mostly in the capital market space. Institutional assets are typically large investments that are made by investors who have a long-term view and are looking to diversify their portfolio. After four years, in 1990, the economy was slow and the deal flow was slow.
The work might not be for you , even if you’re good at it – for example, maybe you find deals far more interesting than building a client book or managing their portfolios. For example, corporate banking would satisfy many of these goals.
