FIG Banking Space

Hey Everyone,

Hoping to get some updated insights on the FIG space — last thread is somewhat old.

Assuming GS still dominates the space. Are the usual suspects (JPM and MS) the next big players in the market?

Which banks house fintech under FIG vs tech?

What has happened to the MM/regional bank space since the Piper Sandler merger? Are Sandler and KBW still the dominant force?

From the boutiques end, Lazard does well and PWP hits Insurance/Insurtech out of the park. There are other smaller firms that crush FIG like Broadhaven and Ardea.
