Bulge Bracket Fact Sheet

Could somebody please make a bulleted list of all of the bulge bracket banks and include the core competencies for each bank at what they're best at? This would be to everyone's benefit who wants to learn the "scoop" on each of the big players

"theharvardbanker" YungMonc I appreciate you translating the difference for me between a public and private company.

I like the list which you gave. For every bank, could you or anyone else give me 2-3 bullet points what the core strengths of the bank are and what differentiates it in the industry? Also, let's just stick to bulge bracket:

Goldman Sachs (1) (2) (3)

Morgan Stanley (1) (2) (3)

JP Morgan (1) (2) (3)

Barclays (1) (2) (3)

BAML (1) (2) (3)

Credit Suisse (1) (2) (3)

Deutsche Bank (1) (2) (3)

UBS (1) (2) (3)

Citigroup (1) (2) (3)

I will do this for you for $3,500
