"Your banker's on the line..." (investment bankers and utility executives combine efforts strategically)
Article Abstract:
The team effort between an investment banker and a utility executive is focused well on the welfare and financial stability of the enterprise, the banker offering counsel to help raise capital while the executive making worthy decisions. As the utility industry thrives, in a non regulated marketplace, for instance, new investments are considered a major contributor to the utility's asset base. In obtaining a concrete detail of any negotiation, the banker should attain an extensive knowledge of the utility company's business strategies and management.
