Best FIG teams

BB: GS, JPM, BofA

EB: EVR, PWP, LAZ

Depends what falls under FIG for a definitive choice. But these are solid options for Fig, generally.

Can anyone clarify what FIG specific exits are and how they compare to traditional PE exits in terms of comp?

Ardea, Piper Sandler, KBW, Broadhaven

For the BB’s I would look at the top as follows

GS / JPM (1a, 1b)

MS (2)

B of A (3)

Ardea is looking like a serious player in the space a bunch of GS alum and an Evercore Alum

WF and Piper are notable good groups as well

Almost any BB should have solid dealflow in FIG now adays just given the high volume in the space. But agree with the general rankings here.

FIG is too big to generalize this way. Each banks have its strength on certain verticals: fin tech, insurance, specs, banks, AM and there are no banks that dominate in all these verticals except for JPM/GS. Outside of it, it’s a coin toss on which bank is better at what. For example, Evr splits up it’s FI and insurance team so again it’s hard to compare apples to apples. Overall, in such a big group deal volume is high and you will get good deal exposure at most BB/EB.
