Global Investment Banking & Brokerage - Industry Market Research Report

Global Investment Banking & Brokerage

The Global Investment Banking & Brokerage industry is expected to thrive over the five years to 2018 as strong economic activity fuels demand for the industry's services. Increasing levels of regulation and low market volatility have tamed the expansion of the industry by stunting the growth potential of trading related services. However, the industry's underwriting and advisory services have driven the growth of the industry during the period amid sluggish performance from trading and related services that primarily affected developed countries. The industry is anticipated to slow down significantly over the next five years as a result of weaker investor confidence and increasing regulations in emerging markets. Geopolitical tensions have the potential to push economies onto the wrong path, which creates uncertainty.
