UBS was a sponsors-led bank and still is. Given the number of new seniors across UBS coming in and a historic focus on sponsors, I would still say UBS has a top sponsors group. The UBS sponsors team also holds the pen on the model, which is the most important thing when thinking about good sponsor groups at the junior level.

 

I dont think necessarily true, I would imagine if you're getting relationship experience you would get the opportunity to network with a lot of sponsor clients and know more about their company, culture, and recruiting timelines. Anyone can teach themselves an LBO

Personally, I still side with going with a more technical group like LevFin. 

 

I don't know why I'm getting monkey shit lmao. At my PE firm, we literally shifted from working with CS as our lead on most deals to WF.

 

Do EBs have sponsors groups? Are they maybe folded in w capital markets or something? Esp curious about EVR/PJT

 

Probably one if the not the best groups at DB - analysts tend to exit well, and they will usually be the ones doing the model (work can sometimes be spread across the LevFin team as well). Mostly based in NYC but small team in SF as well.  

 

Think it shakes out:

JPM

MS/WF

BofA/DB/UBS/Jeff 

Difficult to place any of the EBs and would consider it a different space entirely. 

 

Santander sponsors poached a several CS LA seniors and is in growth mode. heard their goal is to beat the old CS LA office record in annual fees. This years exits were to like Clearlake, LGP, Warburg, FP etc. super technical analyst program.
