Investopedia explains 'Underwriting Group'

An underwriting group manages the distribution of a new securities issue. The group purchases the issue from the issuing corporation at a specified price and then resells the issue to investors in order to make a profit. The profit is the difference between the purchase price and the resale price; this is known as the underwriting spread.
