Best Structured Finance Groups

Interested in the structured finance/securitization space and am curious which groups are the best in general and in regards to product CLO/ABS/CDO’s. Know a few BB have good groups but any color, details would be appreciated.

Asset-Backed-Alert has great league tables. The best groups vary by region and asset class. Recommend that you look on that site. Can't go wrong with Citi, RBC, JPM, BAML. Although I'm hearing news growth prospects and bonuses are looking bad at Citi. GS has a really good aircraft team, but I don't see them on anything else. 

 

Depends on the product. In CLOs Citi is top of the league tables almost every year. Bank of America and JP also do quite well, BofA is challenging Citi for top this year.

In CMBS, JP / Citi / MS are all usually around the top. GS and BoA are usually in the mix as well, though slightly lower - GS stronger in conduit, BoA in SASB. DB also punches above its weight especially in conduit. 

 

Sunt aut et nihil ea. Quis recusandae veniam delectus porro. Error quaerat nostrum quaerat.

Aut omnis nesciunt quia a. Qui quo omnis voluptatibus consequatur.
