Our Corporate Finance division helps clients build their businesses by providing them with financial and strategic advice as well as innovative products.

Your training
Join us here as an Analyst and you’ll build your knowledge of local markets and industry sectors, and learn how to deliver insightful analysis and financial structuring across a broad platform.

Your intensive training starts with an invaluable induction that will give you broad business, technical and product knowledge. Our senior leadership will share their vision for Deutsche Bank with you and bring to life our culture, values and beliefs. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in all our Corporate Finance industry and coverage groups. While teamwork exercises and a schedule of networking events will help you start building vital business relationships and lasting friendships with future colleagues.

After that, expect to benefit from some of the best technical, professional and soft-skills training around. Fast-paced, interactive and ongoing, it will cover everything from valuation techniques and areas of accounting to delivering memorable presentations. At the same time, you’ll work alongside, and learn from, our most senior leaders. You’ll have continuous opportunities to develop, both on the job and through structured training. It’s a combination that will equip you to make an early impact on what we do best – generating inventive, effective solutions for our clients.

Your role
Based in one of the world’s global financial centres, you’ll work at the heart of a progressive business tackling projects that develop new ways to help our clients reach their financial goals. The specific team you join will depend on your career ambitions and our business needs. But the possibilities include Leveraged Finance, Equity Capital Markets, M&A and various industry and country coverage groups.

Your day-to-day tasks will vary according to your precise role. You might be valuing companies, modelling M&A deals or working with sales, legal and compliance to create marketing materials for a new equity product. Or you could be preparing industry analysis for a pitch or helping with the execution of live deals. But whatever you’re doing, you’ll be a key member of the team, sharing your ideas and shouldering real responsibility. Your learning curve will be steep as you get involved in current deals and interact with clients. But you’ll enjoy plenty of support from managers and mentors along with unparalleled global exposure.

The skills you’ll need
Strong quantitative analysis and numerical skills are a must, as you’ll need to be comfortable manipulating data and writing formulas in Excel. Just as important will be your ability to communicate and influence – skills you’ll put to the test when you create market reports and presentations that may be seen by senior managers both internally and externally. We’ll also look for a strong interest in the world of finance and the determination to learn quickly and build a long-term career as a leader in our global bank. Add the creativity and intellectual curiosity to solve problems in fresh, new ways, and you could soon be adding real value to our business.

About Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank is a German Bank that was founded in 1870, with headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. The Bank has two main divisions, 1) Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), which includes M&A, ECM, DCM, etc. (called “Global Banking”) and sales and trading activities (called “Global Markets”), and 2) Private Client and Asset Management (PCAM), which includes investment management business and the retail business.

Deutsche Bank initially started as a commercial bank in Germany before gradually expanding globally, playing a key role in the development of the German Industry. Its first steps in investment banking are very recent and only started with the acquisition of Morgan Grenfell (a UK investment bank) in 1989, followed by the acquisition of US Investment Bank Bankers Trust in 1998 for $10bn. Deutsche Bank only became a significant Investment Bank over the last 5 years, during which it saw rapid transformation and becoming less and less reliant on its commercial business and less Germany-centric. Today, the major slice of profits comes from the investment banking business. Deutsche Bank is now fully global and employs 80,000+ people in 72 countries, and has a large presence in Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific and the emerging markets with key offices in New York, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The offices in London are located in Liverpool Street, near Liverpool Street station Deutsche Bank’s CEO is Swiss Josef Ackermann since 2002, joining from Credit Suisse where he was President of the Board. Michael Cohrs, an American who was previously at Goldman Sachs and SG Warburg, is the head of investment banking

Features and Rankings

Features

> Global Investment Bank with a an increasingly well recognised brand name globally, and strong positions in the US, Asia and Europe

> Deutsche Bank is a debt powerhouse, consistently topping rankings in financing league tables. This means that the bank will be able to leverage its financing strength to get M&A mandates

> Historically, Deutsche Bank has been a very Germany-centric, debt-focused bank with little M&A presence. To this day, Deutsche Bank is still a Financing and Debt Powerhouse, consistently in the top 5 or top 3 rankings for financing transactions globally, and almost always no. 1 in Europe. However, the bank has been gradually diversifying and has climbed the M&A league tables steadily. Today, the bank is still consistently ranked in the top ten, usually floating between rank number 5 and number 10 globally and in Europe. It is also often considered as one of the “Bulge Bracket” bank.
