 M   is a financial institution primarily engaged in offering

financial services and advice to corporations and to wealthy
individuals. The term can also be used to describe the private equity
activities of banking.
 The chief distinction between an investment bank and a merchant
bank is that a merchant bank invests the banks own capital in a client
company whereas an investment bank purely distributes (and trades)
the securities of that company in its capital raising role.
 Both merchant banks and investment banks provide fee based
corporate advisory services including in relation to mergers and
acquisitions.
