 | | The investment banker is the middleman between issuers of securities requiring capital (public bodies as well as private business firms) and the ultimate investors, institutional and individual, who have money to invest. |
 | | Investment banking practice was importantly modified by the requirements for registration of public offerings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to the SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, involving a waiting period (normally 20 days but in practice usually longer) between filing and the effective date for public sale. |
 | | The antitrust suit brought under the Sherman Act by the Justice Department against 17 leading investment bankers, initiated October 30, 1947, in the Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York, was dismissed September 23, 1953, after a trial lasting from November 28, 1950, to May 19, 1953. |
