Job Description & Program Overview

Global Corporate and Investment Banking (GCIB) provides advice and services to large corporations, governments and institutions around the world. GCIB provides the firm’s clients with a broad range of services and products, including mergers and acquisitions and strategic advice, lending, access to debt and equity capital markets, treasury services and tailored risk management solutions.


Global Corporate and Investment Banking is split into four areas:

  • Corporate Banking
  • Debt Capital Markets
  • Equity Capital Markets
  • Investment Banking

 

Corporate Banking
Global Corporate Banking is part of the Global Corporate and Investment Banking Division (GCIB) at Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML). Our team is focused on managing the day-to-day relationship with our clients as well as providing strategic advice across a variety of financing and treasury solutions across the bank. Global Corporate Banking is organised on a geographic basis, serving a diverse range of clients and industries across the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. Outside the US, our focus is on large global multinational corporate and financial institution clients. Within EMEA, we provide global solutions to the largest corporate and financial institution clients headquartered across the region, as well as subsidiaries of our large global multinational clients.

At BofAML, we operate a dual coverage model – with Corporate and Investment banking teams working seamlessly together to deliver the entire firm to our clients. The Corporate Banking team is responsible for delivering financing, treasury and risk management solutions to our clients, and the Global Investment Banking team manages the strategic dialogue (including Mergers & Acquisitions advisory as well as equity capital markets). In addition, Global Corporate Banking manages the firm’s balance sheet allocation to our clients in coordination with our Wholesale Credit and Risk teams. As a client coverage relationship management function focused on delivering the bank’s full suite of capabilities and solutions, Global Corporate Banking works alongside colleagues in Global Investment Banking, Global Capital Markets and Global Treasury Services to provide holistic advice and best-in-class execution services across:

Capital Structure Advisory: Including the preparation of detailed financial models and analytical presentations in order to offer holistic advice regarding clients’ debt funding strategy

Debt Capital Raising (Loans, Bonds, Leasing, and Acquisition Finance): Working closely with our colleagues in the Debt Capital Markets and Leasing groups to help clients issue debt across various markets, either as part of their regular financing plans or in the context of a strategic transaction e.g. an acquisition 

Risk Management (FX, Rates and Commodities): Partnering with colleagues across the bank’s various risk management groups to deliver solutions and products that help to mitigate clients exposure to interest rates, currencies and commodities

Treasury Solutions (Working Capital & Liquidity, Cash Management and Trade Finance): Solutions that help to optimise clients’ working capital cycle, cash flows and cash balances, such as corporate credit cards, trade finance and liquidity / cash management

Global Corporate Banking covers a broad array of areas across the financial markets, with a need to work on a range of complex transactions and solutions with a diverse range of people across the bank, globally, to deliver for our clients.

Debt Capital Markets and Equity Capital Markets

Bank of America Merrill Lynch has a combined Summer Analyst program for Debt Capital Markets (DCM) and Equity Capital Markets (ECM). ECM and DCM originate and execute a wide variety of equity and debt solutions for our clients. We assist with capital raising in the public and private markets for large acquisitions, strategic financing and the strengthening of balance sheets.

DCM professionals originate, structure, risk manage and execute debt products, including bonds (across public and private markets), loans and acquisition finance. Our clients include Corporates, Sovereigns, Supranationals, Agencies and Financial Institutions. Post-origination, we continue to assist our clients with their ongoing debt portfolio management through liability management and derivative transactions.

ECM professionals originate, structure and execute equity capital raising products, including IPOs, rights offerings, accelerated placements, convertible bonds, hedging structures, margin loans and structured purchases/disposals.

Both Capital Markets groups work closely with Corporate Banking and Investment Banking (client coverage) and Global Markets (trading and distribution). Therefore, candidates who have a natural interest in both markets and corporate finance will find it a particularly rewarding environment.

As a Summer Analyst you will be assigned to one of these Capital Markets groups but will benefit from exposure to and connectivity with both groups throughout the internship. Candidates are welcome to express an interest in one or both of DCM and ECM.

  • Develop a strong understanding of market fundamentals and be able to make market-informed contributions on a broad array of financing strategies that address clients’ specific needs
  • Design highly tailored presentations for clients to outline solutions to their financing needs (e.g. general corporate financing, acquisition financing)
  • Work on live transactions and interact with clients and professionals from across the bank as you build your network and experience
  • Work closely with Investment Banking teams on client coverage and origination
  • Work with sales teams and traders in Global Markets to coordinate and manage live deal executions, and liaise with Global Research to stay informed on the latest market developments
