FIG M&A platforms: non-BB

Does anyone know anything about the US/Canadian FIG advisory capabilities of the unusual suspects? i.e. not BBs, not FIG boutiques, not Lazard/Evercore. I've gathered info on some of these platforms but would like to know more:

BMO BNP Paribas CIBC Credit Agricole Greenhill Guggenheim HSBC Jefferies Moelis Mizuho MUFG Nomura Raymond James Rothschild Scotiabank TD

etc.

Some of these shops seem to be (re?)building out their FIG efforts (especially insurance) as of late - hiring BB MDs and posting (or hiring through recruiters) at the analyst to VP levels. My initial view is that these may be solid entry points into the space but are a question mark for longer term.
