GS / JPM have historically been pretty strong. MS is also solid.
Lazard was quite strong when Gary Parr was around. Probably not quite as good now but still respectable. Evercore has a good FIG franchise.

Same table but adding a Banks filter:
For some reason MergerMarket isn't letting me filter by Insurance or else I would show that too
There's a ton of coverage within FIG, too: Banks, Insurance, Asset Management, Credit Cards, FinTech, etc. etc. Each bank has a vertical(s) they specialize in
Really helpful. Do you know which banks have the strongest specialization in credit cards & fintech? -- I would assume BAML & JPM, but I could be totally off.
FinTech is normally lumped into Asset Management (called FTAM), so it may be hard to tell. But JPM and GS FTAM groups are very active. I'm sure other banks cover FinTechs, but not sure who is doing well atm and it's always changing.
I will say for FinTech deals, it really matters on who the acquirer is. If it's a PE fund, sponsors group may cover. If it's a FAANG-type, the Tech group may cover. If it's a Bank looking to acquire a neo-bank competitor, then Banks group will cover, etc. The scope is so wide since it's an emerging industry.
I heard Lehman’s FIG group is impossible to get into.
