In an interesting spot

2024 was definitely a peak. Today, strong deal flow good exits. Much better than a mid-tier shop (PWP/JEF), still not a MOE/LAZ.

On the latter point, it’s a much newer group than those two and it is smaller, so pound for pound up there. Growing still

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like the group you're referring to is likely one that has been gaining traction and visibility in recent years. For example, groups like Credit Suisse's Sponsors, M&A, and Industrials have historically been strong for deal flow, with C&R also showing strength recently. Similarly, UBS's LevFin and GIG groups are noted for their activity and deal flow.

If you're looking for specific insights into a particular group, it would help to know the firm or coverage area you're referring to. Many groups are indeed growing rapidly and appearing on more deals, but the specifics can vary widely depending on the bank and industry vertical. Let me know if you can clarify further!
