Based on the most helpful WSO content, the best REGL (Real Estate, Gaming, Lodging) groups on the street are:

  1. Bank of America (BofA): Their REGL group is often highlighted as the best on the street. It has a strong reputation for Real Estate PE or investing exits, making it a top choice for those targeting these areas.

  2. Deutsche Bank (DB): DB's REGL group is also considered one of their top groups, alongside LevFin and Industrials.

  3. Other Banks: While not explicitly mentioned in the context, larger banks with dedicated REGL groups tend to dominate this space due to their scale and deal flow.

For ECM, M&A advisory, and private capital advisory capabilities, BofA's REGL group stands out as a leader, particularly for its strong placement into real estate-focused private equity roles.
