Investment Banking 101: understanding fixed income and currencies

When companies raise money, that's only the beginning of the story. Every day, investors buy and sell bonds, businesses manage currency risks and banks help clients navigate financial markets around the world. That's where fixed income and currencies comes in.

In the second episode of our Investment Banking 101 series, Scott Cameron, Global Chief Operating Officer for Fixed Income & Currencies at Deutsche Bank, joins host Vicky Garrod to explain how bond trading, foreign exchange markets and trading floors help keep the global economy moving.
