Our Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) business provides the full range of advisory and financing products and services of a leading global investment bank. Our clients include large-cap and mid-cap corporates, financial institutions, governments, government agencies, and financial sponsors.
We recognize that selecting the right investment banking partner can be the key to a company’s success. Our relationships are enhanced by industry sector, country, and regional expertise, closely aligned to high-quality client solutions. We offer both buyside and sellside advisory services for mergers and acquisitions, restructuring advisory, debt and equity capital raising services (including our dedicated Environmental Social Governance (ESG) solutions) and structured equity transactions. We advise on innovative cross-border and regional transactions in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

- Building and maintaining detailed financial models, valuations, and forecasts to support strategic advice and transaction execution

- Regular engagement with listed corporate clients through Deutsche Bank's Corporate Broking franchise by providing market insights, shareholder analysis, and preparation of investor materials
- Working closely with Equity Research, Equity Sales, and IBCM Product teams to support public clients, originate opportunities, and contribute to IPO and broader capital markets mandates
- Building strong relationships with clients through regular day-to-day interaction and exposure to management teams, investors, and other key stakeholders
- Developing a broad understanding of Deutsche Bank's product suite and how the wider platform can be leveraged to deliver integrated solutions for clients
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
