FIG Banking Primer

60 pages

About this resource

FIG is one of the biggest revenue-generating groups at most banks, yet it is the least understood by candidates. This primer covers everything you need: what FIG covers (banks, insurance, asset managers, fintech, exchanges, brokers, financial processors), why the balance sheet drives the P&L in FIG (the opposite of how most sectors work), how Net Interest Income works (50-75% of bank revenues), cost of capital synergies in bank M&A (if Company A funds at 5% and acquires Company B funding at 10%, there are immediate interest cost synergies), regulatory-driven M&A dynamics, and the FIG-specific buy-side exit landscape (Stone Point, Apollo FIG, Warburg, H&F, GTCR, MDP, Genstar). Includes FIG interview questions with model answers and firm-specific intelligence.
