The middleman between the corporation issuing new securities and the public.

CONT

The usual practice is for one or more investment bankers to buy outright from a corporation a new issue of stocks or bonds. The group forms a syndicate to sell the securities to individuals and institutions. Investment bankers also distribute very large blocks of stocks or bonds - perhaps held by an estate. Thereafter the market in the security may be over-the-counter, on a regional stock exchange, the American Exchange or the N.Y. Stock Exchange.

OBS

Compare with "best efforts underwriter" and "standby underwriter."
