Incoming Intern. I have read that teams are very hit-or-miss; some have some deal flow, while others are entirely wasting time on pitches that never make it. I've also read online that Industrials is considered, by some forums, the strongest team, but 2025 data suggest that C&R had the most traction, while FIG is making headlines as of Feb 26. From your experience, how do teams rank in terms of deal flow?

 

Number 1 if including product groups is LevFin just due to most of UBS deals being based around sponsor. 

Among coverage groups think flow is Industrials then CR as the top. FIG/HC/Tech are all good in select sub verticals but not as a whole (ex. Fintech for FIG). Out of these 3, will note Tech ECM is really strong; so maybe slight edge to tech. However, would not term any of these 3 groups as having good deal flow. M&T and RELL just don't do much as a whole. I made a thread about 2026 review of UBS groups for more comprehensive thoughts.

Super helpful! I saw that C&R and FIG dominated in public deals, though. Did Industrials have heavy performance on non-disclosed deals? Also, would appreciate the link to the post you're referring to.
