Morgan Stanley? From all I heard they are certainly up there.
Yeah. MS is definitely in a league of their own.
Any strong boutiques?? I know M3 Capital Partners gets some pretty big deals, but are there any others?
I'm not sure about rankings, but Deutsche Bank has a superb real estate group with a great rep
MS is the best...BofA is pretty decent too.
Do a search on this topic has it has been explored in detail. We have used BOA guys on a number of real estate related LBO transactions and they have been great. I know they were at or near the top of the league tables the past two years.
since RE is an alternative asset class, is it harder to move to a HF/PE after an analyst stint? even if one is successful in jumping to a HF/PE, is he/she stuck doing RE?
Wachovia has a pretty good real estate group as well
Yeah, BofA was #1 in real estate M&A this year. Surprising, but I'm sure it had to do with their debt capabilities.
BofA RE was great a couple years ago, but most of the hitters have since left and I wouldn't say it's really all that good anymore. Def not #1 in RE M&A by any means.
RE IB is the one industry group that is year after year dominated by the same bank - MS. Number two in RE is generally nowhere close to MS in terms of revenues and is likely to be GS, although ML had a very good '06.
Prescott, I literally read this a few days ago in Real Estate Alert: for 2007 BofA was #1 in real estate M&A. Unfortunately, the rankings section of their website hasn't been updated since June, but even then BofA was #2 and ML at #1, as you can see here: http://www.realert.com/Public/MarketPlace/Ranking/index.cfm?files=disp&…
Like I said, it was probably due to their debt capabilities. I find ti hard to believe, too - maybe they're fudging the numbers
I had a few friends in real estate at MS. Killer work environment (this would be in a bad way), I don't think I've ever seen anyone get screwed so badly. But I believe they're among the most profitable groups in the bank, which means good dealflow and exposure.
Just be prepared to suffer.
