Definitely going to finish at the top of the US league tables for 2025. Let's see if the asset cap lift can help grow their international presence to be a true contender for a BB.  

 

I 100% agree with you.they just need to move most of their ops to NYC, specifically CIB

 

while it may not be international, they certainly have a large presence across the US. This includes an Anchorage branch, at least 2 branches in Fairbanks, and a Juneau branch

 

They're following the 1990s-2000s JP Morgan playbook verbatim when Jamie took them from a commercial bank into an IB juggernaut

Notice how nobody shits on balance sheet banks as being "not real IB" when JPM is involved? I'm here to make money, not impress random finance hardos on LinkedIn on what "real" IB is. Let's be honest. Nobody here is that prestigious or balling that hard. The real ballers in IB are our clients who actually started and own businesses. We're just their errand boys.

The one thing WF needs to really be a BB is more of a global presence. If they keep hiring, they could do that in maybe 5 years

 

Yeah WF can easily use its cash or finance with equity to acquire a strong boutique in EMEA and Asia to expand its ex-U.S. business.
