The corporate and investment banking (CIB) business, which includes origination & advisory, equities, fixed income, trade finance, cash management, securities lending, and securities services, is highly competitive. Firms compete for league table positioning, operate in some low-margin businesses where scale is vital, and navigate an ever-changing regulatory environment. Banks want to manage costs to protect margins, but they also need to keep pace with evolving client expectations and the changing technology landscape. How they allocate investment dollars helps determine their ability to protect existing franchises and prepare for the CIB of the future.
