EMEA FIG ECM and M&A League Tables 2020 & 2019

Could any of you share how banks are doing this year in EMEA regarding mainly to FIG ECM and or to FIG M&A, this year has been quite volatile and would like to know who have taken advantage prior to deciding where should I try to recruit for next cycle

Long shot here, thanks in advance!

Can you please share the Healthcare ranking table. Thank you in advance

 

How does UBS / Barclays compare with GS/MS/JP/BofA when it comes to FIG? Do they have the same exit opps?

And is it GS FIG still the best team regarding exposure and exit opps in Europe?

Anyone could post how the league tables closed in 2020? Or does it remain the same as the one showed by Analyst 1?

 

FIG M&A, ECM or DCM?

Not a FIG guy at all, but from my understanding, it's hard to say who is the clear nr. 1/2/3 as each vertical is very different from each other (payments if even 100% under FIG, insurance, banks, asset managers and what not). It's a bit like categorising HC!

Maybe better if a FIG person comments, so take that with a grain of salt!

 

M&A 

I know there are a lot of verticals but I was told that we will not cover a particular vertical during the first year, so wanted to understand how my team at UBS / Barc is positioned compared with the big US banks in terms of exits

Will throw what I think based on my experience, Interned in FIG so whilst I can't directly comment, I know people in the team I interned with (GS/MS/JPM/BofA) have in the past left for HF / PE - some generalist, some FIG Specific (JC Flowers or FIG focus teams at likes of  Apollo, Blackstone etc.)  . Will caveat that you will need to do more work on conventional finance if trying to be generalist as you don't really see EBITDA outside of Fintech, Insurance Brokerages or AM/WM. 

GS FIG definitely has good exposure and I perceive it to have best exit opps too, but in terms of exits,   your experience will matter more, with more M&A leaning towards better opps especially for PE
