For large corporate clients, we’re a leader in supporting growth and
executing critical transactions globally. From M&A advice, launching
IPOs and raising debt and equity capital, to providing comprehensive
treasury solutions
— we help businesses through each growth phase.
But we know that truly valuable banking relationships go beyond
supporting major deals. At Bank of America Merrill Lynch, we under-
stand that it’s the day-to-day, ongoing partnerships with our clients
that lead to mutual success and a better future.
Clients value our commitment to building long-standing relationships focused on understanding their
strategic needs and creating opportunities and solutions. We deepen our client relationships by deliver-
ing a full suite of solutions when and how they need them, in more than 150 countries. As a result, our
clients view us as more than their “big deal banker”
— we’re also their “everyday banker.”
At Bank of America Merrill Lynch our work knows no borders, as we are able to leverage our global
footprint across products, sectors and geographies to help large corporations succeed wherever they
do business, in ways that few of our competitors can.
Our Global Capital Markets and Global Corporate & Investment Banking professionals work in close
coordination to advise on, structure and underwrite capital-raising transactions in the equity and debt
capital markets on behalf of issuer clients globally. In 2010, we helped thousands of companies raise
more than $684 billion of capital around the world, enabling them to grow their businesses and achieve
their goals.
Increasingly, we’re helping companies in places like Brazil, Russia, India and China
— emerging markets
that are transforming into growth markets. We share our clients’ vision in that these areas represent
some of the greatest opportunities now and in years to come. As more of our clients expand their inter-
national presence, we’re right there with them, utilizing a measured, strategic approach to ensuring we
have the right infrastructure and systems in place to help them navigate often complex market conditions.
Our commitment is for the long term
— whether it’s in Indianapolis or Istanbul, we’ll be there to meet all
of our clients’ needs.
