I know league tables are a major source, but how do you know what certain banks specialize in or are known for?
In other words, what do the following banks specialize in (what are they known for), and how do you know (also, if possible, can you list some of the banks' nicknames used by people in the industry):
Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley UBS JPMorgan Merrill Lynch Credit Suisse Deutsche Citi BofA

do you realize how annoying it is for someone to say, "use search function" on every thread?
do you realize how annoying it is to have to point out there is a convenient and relatively well-functioning search utility on the forum that would reduce redundant posts and make information more accessible? it's a simple process, do a search and get what you can, if you still have a specific question, then ask it. it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't just "what are my chances" or "i need this piece of information about this bank" (usually because the guy is interviewing there next week but too lazy to research or too insecure to trust his own research) or "which bank is better?" remove those three categories of posts and i'd say you'd lose a third of the site's threads, for better or worse i suppose
See, the problem with this forum is a basic misunderstanding of how investment bankers operate. They (dare-I-say, we?) want solutions, not problems. Show 'em you've made an effort to track down the information yourself, and don't ask for a global rundown. Even if that's what you're looking for, fill in some blanks yourself.
ok, this might be a little much to ask...The reason I put it in this format is so others can benefit as well. All I really want to know is:
What do Citi and UBS specialize in?
I searched and did not find what I was looking for. I did see that Citi and JPM are tops in capital market products.
So again, my question is simply:
What do Citi and UBS specialize in?
