Boutique adviser Centerview beats Wall Street banks in deal rankings

Recent article in the FT with the same title as this post discussing how Centerview stacked up against the big boys this year. Ranking is based on deal value.

Given WSO is the SEC, FCA, BoJ, BoE, ECB, FINRA, FDIC et al officially-certified rankings verifier, what’s everyone’s take on the story?

Is it warranted to rank on deal value? Do you see a genuine shift in M&A whereby smaller firms gain ground over BBs?
