Best RBS Capital Market Groups in London

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into the top groups at RBS, London office in particular.
I have been asked to name my top 2 preferences for the SA internship.

PE and possibly HFs are my preferable "exits". I think that RBS culture is really cool and the people are nice, regardless of what bonus I might not be in line for. I don't care about hours.

I am looking at these two:

1) FI DCM
2) Structured Finance

- FI DCM is reportedly very strong in the EMEA region. Not sure how this transfers into HF or PE?
- Structured Finance seems to have some modelling and good transferable skills. No idea how this can move into PE/HF. Not great I imagine

Other groups that I heard were good:
-Private Placement
-Investment grade Origination / Syndicate
- Loan Capital Markets

Thanks a lot guys

As note to others, RBS doesn't have an M&A team anymore if im correct.

Structured fin might be a shout if modelling work suffices for some distressed PE/HFs.

Thanks for the input. Yes, RBS doesn't do any M&A. Have a summer offer and trying to decide what preferences to choose. Really want to get a good experience. Would High Yield Origination be a shout? .. or can origination pigeonhole you?

Many thanks for your input
