Ducera Partners is an Elite Boutique now - which existing EB gets kicked out of its spot?

So I'm browsing the web on a slow day and looking up which firms have been doing what transactions. I end up on the Ducera Partners website and notice they describe themselves as an "Elite Boutique" on their corporate website. 

This is all fair-play except they did not specify whose spot they took to climb up in the rankings. Who is no longer an EB to make room for Ducera Partners???? Is it Rothschild who got cucked out of their spot??? Moelis? PJT Partners???? Or has FT Partners entered the realm of full-on BB thus freeing up their spot for Ducera Partners? 

I need this by tonight guys. Let me know, thanks. 

 

I just checked it out and literally splooged myself. That's some outdated, elite boutique shit if I've ever seen it.  

 

wtf they literally call themselves an elite boutique. never seen some shit like that

 

You know that a bank isn’t an EB when they say that they are on their website. Look at Evercore, Rothschild, Lazard, Moelis, etc. they don’t even say the word “elite” anywhere

Thx for starting this thread as these issues are pressing and need to be addressed.

Ducera may be an elite boutique, but they are still not as prestigious as the HYPER boutiques (think FT Partners/Centerview/Qatalyst). I know this, because I work at a hyper boutique (FT Partners) and there are certain things that set us apart ($140k as An1 btw). To be a hyper boutique a few criteria need to be met:

  1. Work at least 200 hours a week
  1. ?????
  1. ?????
  1. Self ascribe yourself a hyper boutique

It is possible that one day Ducera may join the ranks of the hyper boutique banks, but today they must remain an elite boutique.
