Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a breakdown of Leveraged Finance (Lev Fin) teams in Chicago:
Credit Suisse (CS):
BMO:
CIBC:
JPMorgan (JPM):
Barclays:
Goldman Sachs (GS):
These teams vary in size, focus, and deal flow, but they represent some of the key players in the Chicago Lev Fin scene. Let me know if you'd like more details on any specific bank!

None of the true Wall Street front office IB lev fin teams are in Chicago. Now with that said, there are lots of credit related roles. Middle market banks (Lincoln, HL, WB, etc.) have their debt advisory teams there. Banks like BMO have large sponsor finance/leveraged credit teams there. Big city for middle market prviate credit (given GE Capital/Heller legacy) - Antares, Twin Brook, Apogem, Churchill, Golub, etc.
Appreciate the response trying to lateral to more debt/ credit focus. are the typical exits from the mm debt advisory pc firms or any credit hf opportunities… etc
Not true - JPM has a team there
Think Barclays have a team there as well
Saw that JPM has levfin team there and also mid cap syndicated finance team. Anyone have more info on either? What’s the difference between the levfin team and syndicated team
