What is the Investment Banking Division (IBD)?

IBD is an acronym for the Investment Banking Division within the overall investment bank.  IBD has responsibility for working with corporations, institutions, and governments to carry out capital raising (underwriting in equity, debt, and hybrid markets) as well as for executing mergers and acquisitions and various types of advisory mandates.

Other Divisions of an Investment Bank

Within an investment bank, there is a clear line between the Investment Banking Division (IBD) and other areas of the bank such as:

All of the above jobs are considered “front office” (think: client-facing) careers.  In addition to front office careers at an investment bank, there are also careers in the “middle office” such as operations, technology, and human resources.  Finally, there are also “back office” careers such as accounting, payroll, tech support, etc.

Not Everyone Who Works at an Investment Bank is an Investment Banker

If someone says they “work in investment banking” they should be referring to the IBD within an investment bank, although people will often claim to work in investment banking when they don’t have work in that division.

For this reason, true investment bankers are clear about the fact that they work in IBD.

Not everyone who works at an investment bank is an investment banker.

Job Titles in the Investment Banking Division (IBD)

There is a standard hierarchy within the IBD that’s nearly the same at most banks.  The titles and career path at most banks are as follows:

  • Analyst – focused exclusively on financial modeling, valuation work, and pitch book support
  • Associate – manages the Analysts, also does modeling and drafts pitch books
  • Vice President – manages Associates, designs pitch books, goes to client meetings
  • Director – meets with clients, structures deals, leads the team
  • Managing Director – focused almost exclusively on winning new business/clients

The change is effective Monday. “We are excited to rebrand our business as Acra Lending to reflect the substantial time and resources we have dedicated to internalizing customer feedback, fine tuning our financial and operating model, and investing in the best people and technology,” Keith Lind, executive chairman and president, said in a news release. “The goal of all these efforts is to build upon our strong foundation to provide industry leading service and programs to suit our customers’ needs.” Then known as Citadel Servicing, the company was acquired by HPS Investment Partners, LLC in February 2020 for an undisclosed price.
