Investment Banking, Governance, Mergers, and Compensation

Carlos M. Peláez and Carlos A. Peláez

Chapter 4 in Regulation of Banks and Finance, 2009, pp 117-156 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter and the following deal with the issues of regulation of financial institutions engaged in transactions with securities. The first section of this chapter considers the market structure of banking in relation to securities: universal, conglomeration, or specialized. The Glass-Steagall Act constitutes regulation during difficult times. Underwriting and loan syndications are important activities of investment banking. Governance is critical to the protection of rights of stakeholders in corporations. Mergers and acquisition raise intriguing issues of entry, corporate law, and takeover defenses.
