BMO leveraged finance?

Anyone here familiar with where the leveraged finance team is housed at BMO? I see that they have 2 product groups DCM which does high yield bond and Loan Products just lev loans. Can anyone clarify?

What smalleights said is accurate...I would add that their NY office is considered the HQ for Lev Fin and handles more of the high yield deals. I think their Lev Fin group would be a great spot for someone looking to stay for the long haul as they do promote well and Lev Fin is certainly BMO's strongest product group and have hired alot of new bankers over the last year. From what I have seen they mostly work with upper MM companies and have actually financed multiple billion dollar buyouts this year.

 

They don't do many deals and when they are in large syndications, they're rarely ever the lead (Source: Thomson Reuters League Tables). Mostly working with smaller middle market companies and they lead clubby deals with 2-3 other banks like SunTrust or PNC.
