Any strong boutiques?? I know M3 Capital Partners gets some pretty big deals, but are there any others?

 

Yeah, BofA was #1 in real estate M&A this year. Surprising, but I'm sure it had to do with their debt capabilities.

BofA RE was great a couple years ago, but most of the hitters have since left and I wouldn't say it's really all that good anymore. Def not #1 in RE M&A by any means.

RE IB is the one industry group that is year after year dominated by the same bank - MS. Number two in RE is generally nowhere close to MS in terms of revenues and is likely to be GS, although ML had a very good '06.

 

Prescott, I literally read this a few days ago in Real Estate Alert: for 2007 BofA was #1 in real estate M&A. Unfortunately, the rankings section of their website hasn't been updated since June, but even then BofA was #2 and ML at #1, as you can see here: http://www.realert.com/Public/MarketPlace/Ranking/index.cfm?files=disp&…

Like I said, it was probably due to their debt capabilities. I find ti hard to believe, too - maybe they're fudging the numbers
