2022 Investment Bank Rankings

Alright I've gotten a lot of PMs about ranking the banks, and I've worked at a Buldge Bracket long enough to be a credible source. So here it goes: 

1) Moelis & Co, great culture and love getting dinner with Ken, great guy and honestly a key figure in the finance industry

2) Deutsche Bank, only investment bank still located on Wall Street, has a great culture and one of the only buldge brackets not on the league tables because they care about their people more than their work.

3) Credit Suisse, even though their being raided by the Swiss police right now, still a great company all around

4) Citi Bank, doesn't have a good looking head quarters, however, great location in NYC and love their DCM team 

5) Jeffries, very over looked. Is top 10 in the league tables and has a great ECM team 

6) BNP Paribas, has a great team for DCM and sponsors the Indian Wells Masters Tennis Tournament

6) Mizuho, top 6 in the league tables for loan originating and underwriting and great office in Tokyo

7) 

8) 

9)

10) JP Morgan, just because they're the biggest doesn't mean they're the best
