Business Services Coverage London

2023 IBD SA offer holder at a firm with a large Business Services group. Never considered the sector before, however after some preliminary reading it seems like a sector I'd enjoy. Could anyone add some colour to the best BS teams in London/PE firms focused on the sector/any other info.

Services coverage banker in LDN here. Depends on which type of firm you're looking at (BB vs. EB vs. MM shop). It's a very broad sector so a very large fee pool to go after

In terms of bulge brackets, in the order of scale/fees, it would be BAML, GS, JPM, MS, Citi. DB do some bits and pieces, others (CS, UBS, Barclays) are fairly weak 

A few other banks (RBC, Macquarie) have decent coverage teams, but very niche focused and far behind the BBs - they care less about league tables

The strongest EBs are Rothschild and Jefferies. Evercore has an ok team. Moelis are ramping up very fast. PJT/PWP/CVP don't have dedicated coverage so very sporadic presence

In terms of MM "sellside" shops Baird, William Blair, DC Advisory are doing well in this space

 

Vel velit ut nostrum inventore. Porro voluptates consequuntur soluta nam et et alias. Autem ut repudiandae officiis distinctio ut laborum ex et. Ut sed non totam saepe fugit qui. Dolores delectus a quia atque omnis.
