EB RX (GHL/GUGG) vs BB LevFin (JPM)

Which one would you suggest going with? I have much more interest in RX, and ideally I'd want to exit to distressed/special sits PE/HF, but unclear whether the JPM brand will open more options to traditional PE (not that I'm interested in that space as of now).

Any thoughts?

Take JPM only if you aren’t sure about buyside post IB. Its brand obviously carries more weight than GHL/GUGG (which are fine shops but not widely known as most EBs). However, if you’re set on buyside, especially distressed or credit, than GHL and GUGG are no brainer.

 

They still seem to be doing well, judging by recent cases, exits, school they hire from etc.

 

Gugg RX is killing it recently. Greenhill RX will keep chugging along till Augustine retires. But would go Rx
