Not true at all, MA suck at everything except RE...
Disagree - their GI & Sponsors team have been pumping deals out
Also their PC business going gangbusters
Tbh not sure what trend you’re talking about - if anything market has shifted heavily in favour of BBs (anecdotally know 2-3 people at these shops that have moved up to BB + have heard of others that my bank is hiring)
Gresham probably a tier above the rest in your list but everyone (boutiques and BB alike) are trying to navigate a fairly challenged M&A environment outside of a handful of industries / top performing groups
Any colour on which groups are most active at the moment?
Bump. Curious as well. Who are the best ones in Melbourne?
Flagstaff in Melb
Thanks for the colour. What makes them the best in Melbourne, out of curiosity?
