M&A and Investment Banking Lesson 1. 1 a – What is Investment Banking: Historical Perspectives 4
What is Investment Banking? From a historical point of view, the main activity of investment banks was “security underwriting” Investment banks buy securities, such as bonds and stocks, from an issuer and then sell them to the final investors Today investment banking comprises a rather heterogeneous and complex set of activities, including underwriting and advisory services, trading and brokerage 5
Origins of Banking First European banking institutions emerged in Genoa, Florence and Venice in early 12 th century First financial securities emerged in Italy in the 13 th and 14 th centuries: Stocks, options, warrants representing ownership position in corporate entities Bonds and other forms of debt representing creditor claims on assets of corporate entities The great ancestors of Investment banking (1200 -1500): The merchant banker: a merchant who extended his activities by offering credit to his clients, initially through the acceptance of commercial bills. Later, the merchant banker focused on trade finance, securities and equity investments in commercial partnerships The financier: a lender to the prince. The Church prohibited usury but not lending to governments. Italian families such as the Bardi, Peruzzi and Medici and the Fuggers from Germany, financed the European kings and the Papacy Later, Amsterdam became a major securities exchange (1600 s) Futures contracts and derivatives were traded Tulip mania: the first recorded speculative bubble 6 At the peak of tulip mania, at the beginning of 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. However, in February 1637, the tulip bulb contract prices collapsed abruptly and the bubble burst
European Family Banks Major international family investment banks emerged in the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries Investment banks were initially private partnerships that pooled large amounts of capital to fund projects usually for governments (e. g. : military campaigns) Main players: Rothschilds, Warburgs, (Germany), Baring Brothers, Kleinwort, Schroders (UK) and Lazards (France) These family banks became universal banks offering a broad range of financial services and played a major role in the capitalization of the industrial revolution London emerged as the dominant financial center of the western world after Napoleon’s defeat in 1815 From London, European bankers started financing ventures in the US and established their American offices 7
The Emergence of Wall Street In Mid-1800 s New York became the largest securities market in the US and the financial Capital of the country Prominent American families began to establish banking operations as an outgrowth of their successful mercantile activities: Junius Spencer Morgan and later his son John Pierpont (J. P. ) Morgan, the Seligmans, the Lehman Brothers, Solomon Loeb, Abraham Kahn and Marcus Goldman Banks came to be sought more by private sector corporations (rail and canal companies) than by their traditional clients, sovereign states By 1900, the US had surpassed Great Britain as the foremost industrial power in the world 1913 Federal Reserve Act Established the US central bank, thereby supplanting the power of private financiers: “lender of last resort” 1929 Wall Street Crash and beginning of the Great Depression 1933 Glass-Steagall Act: separation of commercial banking (deposit taking and loanmaking) from investment banking (securities dealing and underwriting) 8 Reasons for the G-S Act: Commercial Speculation. After the 1929 stock market crash commercial banks were accused of being too speculative in the pre-Depression era Effects of the G-S Act: Creating Barriers. The G-S Act set up a regulatory firewall between commercial and investment bank activities. Financial giants at the time such as JP Morgan and Company, which were seen as part of the problem, were directly targeted and forced to cut their services and, hence, a main source of their income (e. g. : Separation of J. P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley)
Post II World War Investment bankers, not commercial bankers, emerged as principal counselors to corporations Underwriting syndicates continued to be dominated by few bulge bracket firms: Morgan Stanley, First Boston, Dillon Read and Kuhn Loeb (1940 s), Morgan Stanley, First Boston, Salomon Brothers and Merrill Lynch (1970 s) Emergence of Private Equity (1970 s) Merchant banking in its modern context refers to using one's own equity (often accompanied by external debt financing) in a private transaction, as opposed to underwriting a share issue via publicly traded securities on an exchange Bull Market of the 1980 s and the 1990 s: deregulation and globalization Corporations’ allegiance to single banks began to be challenged in favor of multiple banking relationships Creation of a mortgage and asset backed securities market; Junk bond (high yield) market; Financial engineering 1986 Big Bang (London SE) Introduction of electronic exchange; broker/dealer dual capacity; member firm ownership by outside corporations London as primary SE; Globalization of banking 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Glass-Steagall Act repeal) Reasons for the G-S Act repeal: Diversification and Transparence Diversification offers the banking industry the potential to reduce risk, so the restrictions of the G-S Act could have actually had an adverse effect Big banks are more transparent; self-regulation 9 Effects of the G-S Act repeal: Global universal banks Retail banks started to merge (cross-border) with investment banks and stock brokers creating global universal banks able to offer the full range of banking services
21 st Century Early 2000 s characterized by: Loose oligopoly with each firm having multiple product lines + Consolidation of existing banks Hour-glass structure of the industry: many small firms on a regional basis, few and often changing middle-bracket firms, and a stable set of “bulge-bracket” firms 2007 subprime crisis and credit crisis Collapse of IBs such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers Governments bailouts A global recession starts 2010 -2011 EU sovereign debt crisis Policy reactions: austerity measures LIBOR scandal Barclays Bank fined for attempted manipulation of the LIBOR and EURIBOR rates (Jun 2012) Financial crisis debate: IBs business model Capital requirements Proprietary trading (Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform: Volcker rule ban on proprietary trading) Financial products regulation (derivatives) Credit rating Executive pay 10 …
