The Future of Wall Street

Six in-depth features shed some light on what the coming years could bring for Wall Street, and for the global markets that depend on its services.

For Wall Street the past decade has been a period of enormous wealth creation — and destruction. Financial institutions around the world are expected to take $3.4 trillion in write-downs on bad loans and toxic assets.

Wall Street’s role in what many are calling the worst financial crisis since the 1930s has been well documented: Its financial engineers created the weapons — collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, mortgage-backed securities — that fed the housing and credit bubbles. What’s less clear is what lies ahead for the firms that have survived the devastation.

Through a series of six in-depth features, Institutional Investor hopes to shed some light on what the coming years could bring for Wall Street, and for the companies, investors and other participants in the global capital markets that depend on its services.
