Is Corporate Advisory not IBD?
-
It's really hard to say without seeing descriptions for each of the groups (and without a ton of familiarity with the bank), but for M&A I'll go with:
I don't know what Global Financial Solutions is, but I guess that could be in there as well. Take this with a grain of salt.
Syndication will be more of a markets role (think ECM, DCM, loan syndications), you don't do too much traditional modeling
Stable value products sounds like cash management/treasury.
You can't go on the website and check ? They don't list descriptions ?
Some firms even go as far to say their M&A group is their corporate finance division.
Do you think loan syndication or asset securitization is more competitive?
