Why does this league table differ from the dealogic one? It appears thst JP is 4th and BofA 3rd (which doesnt make much sense)
Any particular reasons or one of those may not have included some of the deals?
* Will check it again tomorrow, but there's something that doesnt work
And why is WF not number one, they are the one god tier true BB???
So they rejected your ass pretty hard huh
Am I the only one that hasn't heard of Ondra Partners?
Only there because they were on AstraZeneca/Alexion.
FactSet shows a different order:
We usually rely most on Dealogic, but the difference most be related to cross-border deals
CVPs fees are fucked. On par with GS with 1/5th of the deals and 1/4th of the total deal value.
Relationship bankers!
Is this for US or worldwide? cant imagine Nomura or Roth does more M&A than JEF. Also why their fees so low
How are Centerview's fees so high for 50 deals?
Fees are often not disclosed. You shouldn’t put any stock in the data points in that column on the right. All of those figures are likely significantly understated to varying degrees.
To me, interesting thing is the gap between BofA and the other banks that are in that "tier" like Citi, Barc, CS. Is that a COVID related gap or a persistent gap?
Hard to generalize but lately BofA has been investing in its IBD, which has been visible during last years with very good performance across its core products, but still the gap seems very large imo, so there must be other factors
This list is fake Wells Fargo is top
Unfortunately M&A deals that happened without the consent of companies do not count.
Can anyone share the complete US M&A league tables by dealogic with transaction volume included?
A please would may be help
