Bulge Bracket and Elite Boutique Tiers

Hey everyone, feel like we haven't had a good ol' argument/friendly discussion in a while. What would you say is the current tier list of investment banks in 2016 based on overall brand strength? If you have real balls, rank them with no ties (1a, 1b).

Ranking the Bulge Bracket and Elite Boutique Banks

Before looking at any rankings, it is important to note that these are subjective and can change at any point based on the deal flow at a given bank. These can also vary by group. Below are rankings contributed by our users.

Bulge Bracket Banks Characterized by Sorority Sisters

User @LongIslandBound" shared a humorous post:

LongIslandBound:

Top:
  • GS: Catty, rich girls. Lot of coke, hard pledge process. Only mix with Apollo/KKR
  • MS: Smaller sisterhood feeding mostly from HYP. Rivals with GS and always try to outdo them in philanthropy
  • JPM: Stuck up girls who think they're top but really just spread debt comps all day

Mid:

  • BAML: Super diverse, fun sisterhood. Merged with ML girls after they got kicked off campus but everyone still thinks they're just a retail sisterhood.
  • Citi: Strong national organization but kind of weak at USA
  • Barclays: Sceney international girls who used to party hard but got in trouble with their national organization
  • CS: More international girls in trouble with nationals

Bottom:

  • Deutsche: Nice girls but got in big trouble for their off balance sheet derivatives philanthropy. Currently on probation with the SEC board
  • UBS: Considered the sisters who didn't get bids at any other BB houses. More of a wealth management sisterhood now.

Controversial

I agree with the BB list, although I would add Soc Gen above BMO. Here is m version of the EB

Note: I am a little biased towards the energy space, although if I was 100% talking about energy I would raise Jefferies and Piper Jaffray to to after HL before Moelis, and drop Qatalyst to last.

EB/MM/Boutique: 1. Lazard 2. Evercore 3. HL 4. Moelis 5. Jefferies 6. Centerview 7. PJT 8. Perella Weinberg 9. Qatalyst 10. Piper Jaffray 11. Guggenheim 12. Macquarie

 

Energy I would rank as follows This is CURRENT, not Historical, banks which are not strong market leaders can go in and out of vouge in this space very quickly and there is a TON of MD poaching which happens regularly.

EDIT: below list reordered from original content due to information below

  1. Credit Suisse
  2. Citi
  3. Goldman Sachs
  4. Morgan Stanley
  5. BAML
  6. Barclays
  7. JP Morgan
  8. RBC CM
  9. Deutsche Bank
  10. BMO
  11. Soc Gen
  12. UBS
  13. Capital One
  14. Wells Fargo (A&D Only, probably should be taken off this list.)

EB/Specialist:

  1. Evercore
  2. Lazard
  3. TPH
  4. Jefferies
  5. Piper Jaffray
  6. HL
  7. Moelis

the rest do not have a noteworthy energy presence to my knowledge.

LOL at MS as number, what a fucking joke. They have like one good MD (Mize). Definitely one of the weakest banks in energy. GS is good but too high. Agree that CS has been killing it this year.

I made an amended list based on what you guys really want: Top: GS: Catty, rich girls. Lot of coke, hard pledge process. Only mix with Apollo/KKR MS: Smaller sisterhood feeding mostly from HYP. Rivals with GS and always try to outdo them in philanthropy JPM: Stuck up girls who think they're top but really just spread debt comps all day Mid: BAML: Super diverse, fun sisterhood.

As someone who is an energy banker, Lazard is no where near the top. Probably one of the last places I'd want to work if my goal was to have a career in energy. The brand name helps when recruiting outside the state, but people in energy circles know it's not relevant in the space. They may have done a few decent deals recently, but there are a number of banks consistently doing better and paying much way better. At least two banks come to mind here that have solid deal flow and pay well above NYC street.

If I were looking now, I'd preference CS, Jefferies, Evercore, Barclays, and TPH in no particular order based on a combination of deal flow, compensation, and exit opportunities.

This list is VERY different from general investment banking rankings, as Houston has a very different hierarchy. NYC is a lot more group dependent, so I feel it's not really worth ranking. For what I'm interested in, if I ever switched out of energy, I'd preference PJT, Centerview, Goldman, Evercore, MS, but there's are plenty of top notch groups across other banks in the city as well.

 

They've been trending down since Greenhill stepped down in 2007. Do a few large transactions every year, but have been losing MDs left and right. Still a great place in terms of hours / pay / exits, but they definitely don't have the momentum that some other boutiques have.

PJT definitely hasn't changed much since its Blackstone days and I think they still punch above Evercore / Moelis / Lazard in terms of exits. Evercore has increased its analyst class size quite a bit, believe it's above 30 now, and not sure how that has impacted placement. Moelis and Lazard are keeping class sizes in low 20s and placement was great this past cycle. Lazard placement actually varies quite a bit depending on group. Moelis NY was arguably the top placing bank on the street for MF PE this past cycle but that can and does change since they were pretty bad the previous cycle. LA didn't do too well this past cycle and had a few analysts actually lateral to different firms.

In terms of deal experience, it definitely varies quite a bit for the boutiques. Greenhill pretty much focuses on large cap transactions so you might not close anything as an analyst but you'll get great deals on your resume if you do. Centerview and Perella are also like this. Evercore and Lazard have less of a focus on large cap and churn MM deals frequently so you'll have chances to get both deal experience from MM stuff and to get thorough corporate advisory experience. Moelis is kind of an oddball in that they do anything they can get their hands on resulting in many MM deals and sponsor deals. Also unlike other boutiques, they specialize in sell-sides from both corporates and sponsors while others do mainly buy-side stuff. Pros and cons to both the models but think Evercore and Lazard have a good balance.

Compensation wise, Evercore and Moelis are tied for total comp. Lazard is lower by a significant margin - their top bucket bonus for the first years was lower than the bottom bucket bonus for Moelis and Evercore first years.

 

Much of this is incorrect. Moelis pays below Evercore - I believe Evercore base salary is $10k higher for first and second years, and bonus was significantly higher this year as well. Also, unless top bucket for Lazard is sub-40k - which I highly doubt - your last comment is also incorrect. How could you possibly know what the bottom bonus given across all Moelis first years was?

I don't mean to sound harsh, I just find that there is too much sharing of incorrect secondhand knowledge on this forum.

 

This is totally hilarious. Kudos.

I'd move CS and BarCap into 1B. Also, these rankings are very dependent on group. For example, in the energy / oil & gas space, banks like Jefferies and RBC RR are very strong for M&A (tier 1), and banks like GS and Lazard are second tier mainly doing capital markets and such.

slickmac:
I think Citi is a great place to be starting right now, not in terms of prestige but as far as opportunities are concerned. A lean deal team is preferred to an overweight one (JPMorgan?)

Ignoring the tiring nature of these recurring threads for a second, I spoke to some JPM (London) bankers during recruiting in November. I didn't research the veracity of their statements, but they did claim that their LTM revenue was the same as 2000 (or 2001, can't remember) with less than a third of the headcount.

Either way, both NYC and London bankers I spoke to mentioned being stretched hard staffing-wise. Don't know if that's still the case.

Wachovia, #1, all day every day

While they do have #1 Customer Satisfaction, WaMu has a higher rate for Savings. Therefore, WaMu is by far the best bank on the street. And their colors. Cmon!

 

These rankings are ridiculous. Any ranking is. 6 months ago, many would've put Lehman and Citi in the top 5 with GS/MS and JPM/MER. UBS in the top 5 too? They do a lot of deals but do you want to be part of a place that is considered a total sweatshop and may spin off its IBD unit? Additionally, some groups at lower tier banks are top-notch, like CS with Sponsors/LevFin/Tech, while Tech at UBS stinks. Outside of GS/MS, which are strong pretty much across the board, each bank has its strengths and weaknesses.

Go to the place where you feel will fit you the best. Many of the banks have wildly different atmospheres and people. The deal structure for analysts and workload is also different, so quality of life can range depending on your company and your group. If you think picking UBS is better than Lehman just because some silly ranking told you it was, regardless of group or culture, you are not going to last long in banking.

Do go on about UBS... Are they really known as a sweatshop? You say that their Tech group stinks... Expand upon that for me please.

 

wow, you guys take this way too seriously. No one is basing their decision of employment off of this, its just for fun. Yes, I know certain groups or locations are better within each bank, but I think you are all smart enough to judge the whole. Think of this as the NFL, sure there are better defensive units on some teams but the team as a whole can still be average (Ravens for example). Quit over thinking such an easy question.

 

Its just funny, that the children giving their lists are still in college and have no idea what they are talking about. And you guys keep making fun of BB&T or Morgan Keegan, I think you idiots would be lucky to end up there... or anywhere really. You people are the people who give investment bankers the "tool" persona that holds so true across wall street. You are also the same people who will be lonely, pathetic, lifelong principals hating their life.

Agreed that most of these lists are being populated by kids in college. That said, I wouldn't consider anyone lucky (even idiots) to end up at BB&T or Morgan Keegan...

Agreed. But also why is anyone talking about Morgan Keegan 6 years after they were acquired?

 

Gomes3pc,

Could you elaborate a bit on how the atmosphere differs at each bank? I know that GS is very formal and DB is very relaxed (opposite ends of the spectrum) but I'd be really interested in any additional information that you have. Would do all the prospective monkeys a hell of a lot more good than these retarded rankings.

Thanks!

 

Hmmm, how do you know that GS is "very formal" and DB is "very relaxed"???

Have you actually worked for an extended period of time at either institution?

Did you spend time in at least 10 different teams and 5 different divisions in each firm?

Did you work for each firm on 5 different continents?

Because if you don't fulfil these rather simple & easy criteria, what qualifies you to say that you actually "know" anything about the atmosphere? Such a generic statement, you crack me up man!

There are too many people talking out of their asses on this site sometimes ........ but at least some of it's humorous.

:)

 

publicequity,

no offense to you, but I would draw more of a "tool" image of someone who was uptight like that. But your right, rankings are for college kids. I'm sure every coach who ranks football teams in the college coaches poll is a tool also.

 

Wow no love for CS. They were 5th in the US for M&A and 6th worldwide. 2nd in IPOs last year worldwide. Not much of a player in debt but for M&A and equities I'd say they end up a lot better than 9th or 10th.

 

Joefish,

I agree with what you're saying, one of my mentors specifically told me that those kind of generalizations don't really hold true as it is more group and senior banker specific (as you are saying as well). Guess I just momentarily fell into the ibankingoasis trap, thanks for setting me straight.

 

Yeah I thought CS would be rated a lot higher, they have some strong groups and have managed to stay almost completely out of the news (a pretty good thing these days). Since debt is dead they should be making some big moves.

 

Haha yes I was, then I looked deeper into the company and found alot of troubling aspects. And they absolutely tanked during Q3, putting the blame on the sub prime losses, just to hide how weak their company truely is. Thank God I didnt take a position with that company.

To give them some credit, I think the stock is way under priced, but until they can get their name out and get some consistent volume they will continue to tank. Some good news in the market (esp financial sector, obviously) will also help the stock price tremendously but who knows when thats going to happen.

And no offense, really, but if you could watch that houlihan career video all day (it's well done, but quite sickening IMO) then you reeeally need a girl/boy friend. :P

I don't know what it is, I just get a kick out of it. You've got the rock and roll music playing along, and Jeff W.'s voice is going all over the place. "But we'll be paying you." Great line, cracks me up.

 

Are these responses serious or does nobody here actually know what they are talking about?

On what criteria are you ranking these firms? Essentially, each firm is different and has a distinct focus.

For boutique "pure" advisory : Greenhill and Gleacher are far and away the best "boutiques." Perella Weinberg follows close behind. Than comes sagent advisors (top heavy firm with a median age of probably 60, Evercore Partners is a great firm but has an advisory, middle market, and technology focus.

For middle market : goldsmith lazard is clearly the best followed by houlihan (which is the butt of many jokes on Wall Street as a shit firm). Piper Jaffay is decent in middle market equities, but not much else.

The IB departments of rbc, hsbc, and BNP are divisions of international banks so while they are inferior to their BB counterparts, they do have regional clout.

Not sure exactly where Cowen and T. H. Lee Partners falls. Anyone else know? Preferably not some undergrad who thinks because he reads the WSJ he is hot shit.

 

Sagent is a new middle market boutique formed by the heads of the M&A group at DLJ.

Evercore does not have a technology focus, although they did do some big telecom deals. They also don't have a middle market group or focus anywhere.

 
orangedays:
The Vault rankings are based on surveys - it has nothing to do with how easy it is to get a job at a given bank.

I knew some fucking Poindexter would say something like this. Selectivity is a huge factor in prestige, as are exit opps. I have no idea how those surveys were carried out, but there's OBVIOUSLY something fishy about it.

 

i have to say i love the fact that UBS, lehman and Citi are still in the top 11 (had to move up to 11 to include UBS), even though Lehman is as of now worth nothing, citi is more than screwed, and ubs is looking to sell off their ibanking division. Also how the hell is Chase commercial bank prestigious...isn't that like working as a teller?

jw, why is everyone always so down on Citi, judging by the amount and size of the deals they have done it seems to be they should be a top bank.

 

oh ya and also when speaking with senior bankers at most firms prestige rankings normally do not matter, its more of the prestige of an indviual department within a firm versus an overall firm (although Goldman obviously is known as highly prestigious due to the number of amazing teams they have), i.e. some of the richest bankers within the investment banking community work at second tier banks (i.e. the highest paid banker in europe is a private equity tax specialist at Barcap)

 

CS seems pretty low there. I know they're a bit smaller than some of the guys ahead of them, but they came out pretty darn squeaky from the credit crisis and are picking up some top MDs from Lehman and Merrill as they jump ship.

Just to make some points about some peoples comments on here......

None of the banks listed are listed because of commercial banking except where noted (that being citibank commercial banking). As a fellow poster noted commercial banking is not retail.... you are not a teller... you are actually providing banking services for corporations. I am not completely well versed on this area but I would look into it before making comments about it.

Again as a previous poster pointed out group prestige is much more important than "brand" prestige. Lehman has had one of the top natural resources groups on the street. Other banks have a niche in some particular industry or product primarily due to the relationships that have been created by the MDs with certain corporate clients.

Lastly.. stop judging banks solely by the subprime market situations. That would be like someone judging you for the actions someone at your college did. Even worse, its specific groups of individuals at these banks that have caused problems and typically this does not involve the investment banking (M&A advisory) businesses at all. Lehman as a whole is a very good and prestigious bank.... they might be going through a rough time due to the debt markets and investments in certain real estate... Citi has done extremely well building their investment banking division and continues to do well despite some misteps by individuals at their bank causing problems

 

These are prestige rankings; not quality rankings. As a parallel, any person could argue that MIT is just as good a school as is Harvard (in terms of education provided), but the prestige of Harvard is definitely greater. Just as Merrill might be just a good a bank as is Goldman (in terms of quality of product), but the prestige of Goldman is definitely higher.

I've found that people who are adamantly against rankings usually harbor some type of insecurity complex regarding their current bank (i.e., the Citi banker above me whose bank ranking dropped 5 spots this year...)

I've worked at [what some college kids would naively call] "tier 1" banks as well as a bank ranked between 3-10. The work and everything else one would experience at the junior level is about the same, but the attitude and swagger exhibited definitely are not [Goldman kids are the absolute most arrogant people you will ever meet]. People recognize the prestige differences b/w banks, and anyone who denies this is just a wee bit insecure.

I've noticed that, even in banking (not just in college) there seems to be an industry-wide insecurity complex towards GS (at least at the junior level).

I should note, however, that people above arguing that "Lehman should be ranked 5 instead of 4" or "Merrill should be at 4 instead of 6" are probably the most retarded people in the world and likely have never before stepped foot in a bank.

I'm not impressed with Evercore, and I doubt the general public is either. It's like comparing Carleton, which people "in the know" would argue is a better school than schools such as Notre Dame or Emory, but the prestige of ND/Emory in terms of the general public is still greater than that of Carleton.

Who ranked Lehman #2? retards, that's who [kingbling, where are you?!]. that's why those guys no longer have a job!

Didn't you once say that Merrill would be the top #1/#2 bank on the street? Look how that turned out...

 

My rank is based on my opinion of each banks ability to survive plus my personal prestige premium.

As it stands, MS cannot survive without deposits (assuming that nobody in their right mind will make an equity investment). What's so prestigious about barely surviving? - I believe that MS will either be taken over by Citi or go under. So, best case scenario: MS gets Citi's prestige rating and moves to the bottom of my list.

On the other hand, I believe GS will continue to receive capital from investors or will eventually purchase a commercial bank. Essentially, it will survive on its own. - And given its already prestigious image, I believe it will benefit by picking up talent from Bear/Lehman/Merrill/MS layoffs.

JPM is by far the biggest beneficiary IMO (a close 2nd). It has picked up intellectual property/deposits/employees at pennies on the dollar. It is now a very stable and safe place to be employed. Plus, their IB/Trading operations will increase in value because of these acquisitions. - BTW JPM already has one of the best S&T programs on the street.

And I ranked BAC above Citi simply because I believe BAC's financial situation is better than Citi's. One may argue that MS > MER - But I believe this is outweighed by Citi's earlier problems.

So,

1 - GS - 9+10 = 19

2 - JPM - 10+8.5 = 18.5

3 - BAC - 9+7 = 16

4 - Citi - 7+8.5 = 15.5

The first digit being ability to survive... the second digit being my personal prestige premium.

 

b2 you are retarded, and chill the fuck out. just because i have more important things to do then argue with you about prestige rankings, doesnt mean ive disappeared.

no one on this forum actually believes you work in the industry

you make about 100 posts on day on WSO and all of them are useless

regardless of which, 1. you were indeed clamoring weeks and months prior that MER would be the top 1-3 bank. they will no longer exist very soon. 2. second, i dont work at lehman or Barclays. and just so you know, every lehman intern in IBD that got offers received an offer to work at barclays... no one is out of a job there 3. you can rank barclays however you want. no one cares what you think. personally, ive never ranked lehman in the top of your useless list anyways

all you've proven is how much of a retarded douche you are
