LA Banks: CS - Sponsors and REGLL only MS - Assortment, not sure if they have HC coverage here? GS - Assortment, but heard C&R and HC are good here BAML - Small office, don't think they have HC here Citi - Small office, don't think they have HC here Moelis - Assortment, not sure which coverage teams they have in LA? HL - Assortment, but from other recent threads it looks like their HC team has had some turnover PWP - Very small office, just started, and I believe it's mostly Industrials Lazard - Small office, not sure if they have HC Guggenheim - Not sure if they have HC here either? Wells Fargo - Mostly Sponsors Jefferies - Small office, don't think they have HC here Lincoln International - Small office, don't think they have HC here
Some of these are guesses from my recruiting days so not 100% accurate. As you said, I think most HC teams you're going to find on the West Coast will be in SF.
Duff & Phelps HC group is based in LA. It's OK for a MM, probably their strongest group TBH but it's not EB or BB level by any means.
