How volatile are league table rankings from quarter-to-quarter? Is it cause for concern that the bank you're about to join has fallen in the latest rankings (even though it historically ranks in the top 5 in the segment)\?






Quarterly league tables can
Quarterly league tables can be deceptive especially with regards to the timing of transaction announcements and closings as you are looking at a relatively short time period; i.e. try pully two quarterly league tables where the only variable is closed vs. announced transactions. They are often very different.
very
some deals drag over quarters and some fall over last min so announced differs drastically from completed. but then league tables are prob not the best indicators - so many banks co run deals but still get full credit even though they might have done little..
