LA boutique investment banking scene

It seems like the BBs/EBs have relatively small analyst class sizes, so I was wondering if someone could give the lay of the land in terms of the boutiques as well.

A few that have come up in my research are:

Focalpoint Partners
Intrepid
Imperial Capital
Duff & Phelps
Sage Group
Lincoln

Would appreciate if anyone had any information!

 

I did some work with Sage over the summer. They had a Wharton kid as an intern and seemed like they ran relatively lean deal teams (it was just MD/Associate/Analyst/Intern). They’re super specialized (D2C e-commerce retail).

 

Do you any insight into deal flow across sector?

From my understanding, imperial has strong security/industrials duff is mostly aero intrepid is consumer and focalpoint is healthcare. Imperial seems the biggest by employees, but they also split into equity research and s&t so hard to get a grasp on size of the IB division itself

Thanks!
