Based on the most helpful WSO content, it is mentioned that many banks, including Deutsche Bank, have been merging LevFin with Sponsors and sometimes even with IG DCM. This trend is noted as a way to streamline operations, though LevFin and Sponsors often have distinct focuses. For juniors, this could mean exposure to a broader range of deals, combining leveraged finance expertise with sponsor-backed transactions. However, it might also dilute the depth of specialization in either area.
