The financial markets' Front Office is the division of a financial institution that engages in revenue-generating activities, including trading, sales, and investment management. It is responsible for interacting with clients, executing trades, and managing portfolios. Roles within the Front Office include traders, salespeople, investment bankers, portfolio managers, and research analysts. These professionals make investment decisions, execute trades, provide market insights, and maintain client relationships. The Front Office operates in a fast-paced environment, monitoring market trends and regulations to identify opportunities and manage risks. It is a crucial part of financial institutions, driving revenue and contributing to their overall success. Key functions of the Front Office include:
