Serious question because I'm not the gambling type, so have no idea about how investing in Carilion, HSL, the 'peoples pension' or a 6 trillion sq ft office block in Southwall benefits me.
No...

Investment bankers help their clients (businesses, not individuals) raise money in the capital markets, provide various financial advisory services, and assist with mergers and acquisition activity (and they have a nice little earner from these activities).
