Is M&A at JPMorgan really investment banking?

As the title suggests, is M&A at JPMorgan really investment banking? I have talked to a number at professionals, many of whom were vice presidents and managing directors at BBs and EBs, who have told me that only Goldman Sachs does IB. I would appreciate any responses.
