Morphology
The compound denotes an agent formed transparently from 'investment' (activities involving committing capital) + 'banker' (a banking professional), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it means a banker who works with investments. Although the precise specialized duties (underwriting, M&A advisory) are technical, the basic role is compositional and cross-linguistically obvious.
Etymology
Investment banker comes from joining investment (money put into a business to help it grow) and banker (a person who works with money). Picture a banker who does not just keep money but helps companies 'raise money' and make big deals to grow — that's why an investment banker today advises firms and helps them get funds.
