Hi all,
I have recently been introduced to structuring within investment banks. As my internship for next summer is in Global Markets, I could well be placed within that & at the moment, structuring seems quite interesting to me.
I have a few questions about it though. Would appreciate all constructive answers!
- How long has structuring been around in investment banks whilst being called "Structuring"? If it's long, then why isn't it discussed as much as Sales or Trading?
- I understand what structurers do, but what skills do they develop, other than soft skills such as teamwork? They must gain a lot of understanding about each product that they cover, for example Emerging Market FX, I presume?
- Where can these structurers go after spending 2 or 3 years at a particular bank? Are there any buy side institutions that particularly look for structurers? Could they become traders on the buy side? Where do they go, & which skills do they take with them that are valued on the buy side?
Thank you!
