Investment Banking Information - Job Application

Hello guys, I am currently studying MSc in Financial Mathematics at LSE and want (or I think so) to pursue a career in Investment Banking. Although the time has come to apply for jobs, I dont know much about the companies involved in this industry. I have been told that I should know a lot about the firms I am applying to and show them (both on cover letter and on interview) that I have made a research about them. My question is: Where could I find these information? Furthermore, every advice on the CV and cover letter is highly appreciated! Thank you for your time!
