Heard from CS FIG banker that the aon / willis deal was originated outside of FIG coverage. Think it was originated from some senior management at CS based in Chicago who had a close relationship with Aon mgmt.

Not sure why there's so much negativity around UBS from the prior posts... exits from the most recent class were fairly good (mostly MM + a few UMM), and relative to many other banks (GS, Barclays, etc.) the firm is well positioned due to not being reliant on revenue from IB

Credit Suisse and UBS were both sponsor-driven investment banks, so FSG and Leveraged Finance will likely be the 'best' groups in terms of deal flow / analyst learning experience / exits. GIG is historically a strong group, and Tech + M&T looks good moving forward, especially with new folks poached from Barclays. Other groups are a toss up and depends on how many seniors from CS choose to join.

Hope this helps.

 

CS FSG jumped ship early to Wells Fargo’s FSG platform… I had a friend there and he said one or two MD’s stayed behind to join UBS. So you’re mostly getting the UBS FSG group.
