About the blog

Finance explained, with context.

Investment Banking is a finance blog about markets, banking, business, technology, and public policy. Our posts combine sourced facts with explanation, case studies, and clearly identified opinion.

A bank’s earnings, a new lending rule, or a change in interest rates can be easier to understand with the right context. Our posts explain the terms, examine the assumptions, and link to the records behind the facts.

The blog is for readers, students, and professionals who want to ask better questions about finance and public decisions. Historical case studies retain their dates so readers can see what happened and when.

What guides us

Four principles shape every story.

01

Accuracy first

We verify material facts and favour factual precision over being first to publish.

02

Useful context

We show readers the sources, history and surrounding facts needed to understand a development.

03

Editorial independence

Coverage decisions remain free from corporate, partisan and government influence.

04

Open accountability

When an error is identified, we correct it clearly and promptly under published standards.

Who we are

A blog built around sources and explanation.

Posts draw on company filings, official records, research, and attributable published reporting. A case study explains a dated event; an explainer focuses on how something works; an opinion post makes an argument.

The archive includes posts revised with AI assistance. Source links and revision notes help readers inspect factual claims, understand the limits of the evidence, and distinguish explanation from opinion. Article images are AI-generated editorial illustrations, not photographs of the events or people discussed.
