Unlike commercial banks and retail banks, investment banks do not take deposits. From 1933 (GlassSteagall Act) until 1999 (GrammLeachBliley Act), the United States maintained a separation between investment banking and commercial banks. Other industrialized countries, including G8 countries, have historically not maintained such a separation. There are two main lines of business in investment banking.
Trading securities for cash or for other securities (i.e., facilitating transactions, market-making), or the promotion of securities (i.e., underwriting, research, etc.) is the "sell side", while dealing with pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, and the investing public (who consume the products and services of the sellside in order to maximize their return on investment) constitutes the "buy side". Many firms have buy and sell side components.

An investment bank can also be split into private and public functions with a Chinese wall which separates the two to prevent information from crossing. The private areas of the bank deal with private insider information that may not be publicly disclosed, while the public areas such as stock analysis deal with public information

CHANGING LANDSCAPE
Investment
2007 Sub prime crisis took toll of the global investment banks. Investment banks were not under control of either Federal reserve bank or the US securities and Exchange Commission.
Impact on Indian Investment banks Drop In big deals and revenues Growth rate slowed down but comparatively good
More Stringent Laws and Restrictions Claw-back ProvisionsThis provision requires those whose trades cause subsequent losses, to pay back all or part of their bonuses
Emphasis on Equity Derivatives and Currency trading Fewer big banks and more small boutiques
As the investment banks are largely financed with short-term funding, a massive asset/liability mismatch is created which is difficult to manage It is also probable that more investment banks will be pushed into the arms of banking acquirers with large and stable deposit bases This will provide solution to the investment banks which are generally financed for the good times, not the bad ones
Some of the conflicts of interest that can be found in investment banking are Credit Rating: Historically, equity research firms were founded and owned by investment banks Market Manipulation: Many investment banks also own retail brokerages.
