How do you get the money? What documents/contracts do you need? This will probably differ than other businesses. For example, it would seem a little odd for an investment banker to go to another investment banker to ask them to invest in their investment banking business. Technically, where exactly do you get the starting money? Answers will be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Become a stock broker. Build a successful and happy clientele. Move up into the retail and investment banking groups. Keep building your happy clients. After 10-20 years, break away to start your own operation and take clients with you. If you’re consistently good at selecting profitable investments than your track record will attract money. Then you’ll have 401k managers, credit unions and other institutional investors prepared to put in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Basically, this is a lifetime ambition like running for president. It starts from college.

Dr Kathy Walsh from the School of Banking and Finance at the Australian School of Business has produced a video that introduces undergraduate students to the world of investment banking.

I intend to go into finance/investment banking (after i graduate and hopefully the economy recovers) . How much salary+ bonus would a NEW investment banking analyst make at an i-bank such as goldman sachs or jp morgan. also, i intend to get a Masters in financial engineering after i graduate from college…..is it even worth it? will it give me a better shot at a higher position at an investment bank or will i have to start at the same level as college graduates?

At that level, the bonus is not significant. To make the big dollars, you need to become a banker with close ties (i.e., give a lot of money) to the President, the Speaker, and various other corrupt politicians.
