Underwriting
Back to Index
Definition:
Underwriting is the process where investment bankers help companies, who are issuing and selling new securities and IPOs, by providing the customers and expertise to buy the securities. The investment bank buys the securities and resells them to the public at a markup. Often, investment banks will set up and manage a syndicate to help sell the security. Underwriting is a necessary component of any financial deal including the creation of new structured products. This deal process includes deal origination, securitization, syndication, and underwriting.
