Anton Kreil Explains What A Trader at an Investment Bank Does 

Can't believe this type of video is free on internet.

He reminds me of someone from slitheren house

Finally a detailed explanation of what traders actually do and not just some bs like they create markets.

now i am depressed even though im not a trader at an IB

I'm curious to know how many of the students in that auditorium still wanted to be investment bankers after hearing this.

Love how his videos have nothing to do with any flex.real and factual information. Thankyou for being real :)

I worked in Canary Wharf , and UBS Broadgate for the last 4 years, not as a trader, but I did experience the live floors, and it really is not very exciting, Also most the trading floors were empty.

I'm a fan of AK but in this speech he seems to revel in smashing the dreams of these people.

This is Beautifully put, and so on point. 🤑

What a great teacher

Thank you so much! This is gold!

Good to hear some honest commentary

Great explanation!! They hedge their risk by buying the underlying! The goal is to stay delta neutral, this is why following unusual options activity can pay off big time! Thank you for your insight.

Anton telling it how it is no fkn bs

This is very insightful. Thank you ...

This man is my favt interms of personality!!

I generally figured if one is getting involved in trading these days that it would mostly involve understanding/creating computer algorithms. Of course it's not literally a guy sitting there thinking, "I should buy x shares of y," anymore. Learn the computers instead.

I went from the prop world to an investment bank and I couldn’t believe how dull it was. It was simply a case of handling orders pre-open and then watching the algos run through to close. Paid very good money though. Luckily I’ve now gone on to a fund where I am hands on spec trading all day and i wouldn’t swap it for the world.

LOL at the red bull on the desk.

Anton Kreil.... could you post this again BUT with the camera footage of your audience? These lectures shoyld be compulsory veiwing for all financial industry interns.

Simply amazing ❤️

Sir, this is an art class...

Confused on the risk trade - why would the client want them to sell the shares as opposed to an agency trade where they simply buy the stock through the trader

I would like to know what you said later.

i need this kind of confidence

I love how GREEN I feel watching antons shit. I've got so far to go and I feel like I already have a nice base.

Many of you don't know what an investment bank is..... smh 1 of the biggest businesses of Investment banks are M&A. Sales and trading has declined because of tech innovation. thus salaries lowered. but on M&A side its slightly higher. But everything else he says is right on and yes it does suck to go work 80 hrs a week but most bankers do it for only 2-5yrs and leave

My man is crushing dreams and taking names lol! Amazing vidoe!

someone with ibank trading experience please explain to me how can you be a market maker x% of the time and be a pop trader x% of the time? there is conflict of interest here if I am that trader sitting on my desk and I see a massive buy order on let's say Tesla from let's say Blackrock, when I am trying to process the buy for blackrock (which might take 1 week), guess what I would do in my pop trading portfolio? To me execution trader and pop traders are and should be separated by a fire wall, based on logic. Again, I have not worked in an ibank trading desk, I worked in front office in the buyside but wasn't in trading so any answer from sellside traders would be good.

Moar, please! .. thanks

perfect anton

Amazing speaker!

Basis on an audience there, most of transactions would be like „I will give you 10 sheeps for 1000kgs of curry”

Great watch thankyou.

What is the purpose of bringing in clients if you are losing money on the negative selection trades? Wouldn't the banks be better off investing the entirety of their capital into prop trading, considering they are using this mechanism to win back the losses from those negative selection trades?

here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make trade. I thought to trade demo is just like the real..can anyone help me out or at least tell me on what to do.

Anton, can you help me out? I'm at University on an investment course but there is next to no technical analysis and fundemental analysis. Is there any books you would recommend as I am too poor to afford the institute courses.

Leader of the dark brotherhood

Is he against hedge funds as well or does he like hedge funds?

He’s more like a life Guru

The best traders have no reason to stay working for someone else

Nice one Anton. Cheers

If I was rich I’d hire him as an advisor on everything

What should I do to make money in finance that is not watching an algorithm?

What you are looking at is automation. Technology is automating everything that does not change over time. If you want to make a good living, you need to be in the change part of the economy. If it is still not clear, the trillion market cap companies in US are all changing companies. Meaning what they do 10 years ago is totally different than what or how they are doing it today.

After 2008 IBs in America don't prop trade

now what am i supposed to major in, i want a job where i can feel that i am doing something productive and not watching algorithims.

If 10% of time is given to prop trading to make up for the losses from agency trading and the negative selection portfolio which takes 80% of time, wouldn't it make sense that there is more money to be made prop trading than taking dumb positions because of dumb clients? Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm graduating from chemical engineering university studies soon. Currently Im applying for a position as trader at several financial companies. I have experience in technical analysis, machine learning and programming. Anybody got tips for people switching to the financial sector?

How do you get in????

someone mind giving me an example of "making markets in assets" thanks

is the reason for 80% decline in capital/profits(?) due to stricter regulations after the 2009 crush? or, due to online passive trading platforms like Blackrock etc?

This guy is ace

Okay so as a retail trader, every stock or trade I buy and go long in, the market makers are taking a position in the exact opposite direction to deliver that to me, and often always win being short. 0% tax liability if the stock goes bankrupt from the excessive shorting. This continues to be the story of heavily shorted stocks. Brokerages are a scam even though they make it accessible for us peasants to invest. What a system.

The IB will take the 10M, charge the client 5k brokerage .Then they will use the 10M to short Apple then buy it back at 495 and keep another 100k and tell client he has his Apple at 500. The next day or week they will give the client a negative report on Apple convince him to sell it. They Sell at 497 and tell client the market moved fast and they got him out at at 492 and keep another 100k :D. They will keep doing variations of this until the client has no money. :D

Which college is this? What do you need to study to apply for an investment bank job in the trading and sales department ?

Is he hinting that the money is in retail trading now?

Nice voice

Dream Profession

When he talks about the bank selling the stock directly to the client is he talking about leverage? Can a client just say I want 50 million worth of APPL stock and I want the bank to pay for it?

pretty soon all the prop trading will be done by machines too

Calm video g. Just trying to figure out why they would pay the bank to carry out the trade for 10Mill when the bank isn't even risking anything? Couldn't they do it themselves?

Pretty cool guy :D

10 y or 9y?

trade on your own that's it

As a former Investment Banker i would like to share my experience and give advice for people breaking into career of finance: Get in, work as analyst for 2-3 years and start looking for new opportunities. Typically you would preferr to work in M&A department. Why? Because other departments are waste of time and energy. Be prepared to work at least 100 hours per week and taking shit from seniors. Say goodbye to your social life, workouts and healthy lifestyle. After couple of years start applying for Senior Analyst/ Associate postions at PE firms or Corp Dev.

Call out. MD on far stage right.

Cool! Another one! First Post!

BIg job burn out by the time you are 30 then most die from heart attacks or stokes. Most are single as they work every hour possible so better ways to make money.

Wow.. very informative, but i think he really need to have enough sleep..

From my understanding trading is not all an investment bank does. They help make the prospectus for a company's IPO, help with bond issuance, do sell side research and advisory, handle M&As, raise capital etc... I think he misses a big point which is that a lot of people do investment banking for the exit opportunity. You learn fundamental skills in modeling and network within the industry, many then go into PE or start a fund, it's not just to stay their whole life at one company slaving away. I'm always skeptical of these financial gurus, as they say "those who can't do, teach" and I think that especially applies to finance more than any other subject.

Investing make up the top notch hemisphere of the wealth. that's the more reason one should save and invest to secure profit and ensure success . How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in saving account? I rest my case .

You'd make more as a plumber,,,,,find a computer to do that.

Change your job and join our programmer world, LOL

Well they dont fucking sleep obviously

is that draco malfoy

Looking a little sleep deprived

Troof

I very much prefer Anton Kreli to Martin "ballsack" Shkreli.

So….investment banking is shit. Got it. 👍

I'd hire this guy for anything. He is hot too. 🤣

Is this the same IB as in the US? Is he describing the same Investment Bank divisions as M&A and valuation? seems like a different job than what we know here in America, analysts at Investment Banks spend their time doing valuation models and putting decks together.

But the real question is *where have all that wealth gone* ??

Deze man is steengoed. Geen student gaat meer werken....

lol this is like selling drugs forfilling ordersfpr clients and getting payd commission

The hair is throwing me off, I've seen so many other videos with it short. Focus dammit, but the hair... 😅😂

Most people who apply to investment banks don't want to be traders, they want to work on M&A deals. This talk is only relevant for like 10% of university students

Me neither! this is fucking gold 🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙 I literally worship this man and his team. Thank you Anton k!!
