2016 League Tables for BBs by Industry. Guess who is #1?

Saw this online (FT). Ranked in terms of fees earned in 2016. Thoughts? Anything surprising? For me, JPM seems to have a top presence in many different industries. Didn't know that they were a top energy bank.

Category - Bank Financials = Morgan Stanley High Technology = JP Morgan Energy and Power = JP Morgan Healthcare = JP Morgan Industrials = JP Morgan Materials = Goldman Sachs & Co Consumer Products and Services = Bank of America Merrill Lynch Consumer Staples= Bank of America Merrill Lynch Real Estate = Bank of America Merrill Lynch Telecommunications = JP Morgan Media and Entertainment = Goldman Sachs & Co Retail = JP Morgan Government and Agencies = JP Morgan

Assuming by "fees" this includes financing fees, which will favor the banks with larger balance sheets. If you cut this to just m&a fees you would likely see a different picture here. But like the wallet share metric more than the standard deal size league tables.

Agreed. I work in credit. I've personally never seen Goldman on a loan, but I see JPM, BAML, and MS all the time. CS would be a distant third in terms of how much I've interacted with them. That being said, I don't think that makes this a biased metric. The banks with larger balance sheets can do more financing, making them more of a "complete package" for their clients. It's a competitive advantage for them, though it comes with risks.
