Issuing stocks and bonds is one of the main ways that a company can raise capital. The execution of such transactions requires expertise, from determining the prices of financial instruments, in order to maximize revenue. It usually involves an investment bank. The investment bank is a link between big companies and investors.
One such example from the 19th century is J.P. Morgan, an American financier and a banker, who dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation in the United States.
