League Tables (TTM)

Haven't looked at these in a while, and I was surprised to see where JP Morgan stands, Centerview's deal count, and how much of a boss PJ Taubman is.

I think you have to also look at the fees, a lot of these guys are randomly tacked on just as a courtesy to relationship This helps give a little clarity for breakdowns between fees collected per bank as well as each industry/region's leaders http://markets.ft.com/investmentBanking/bankingLeaders.asp http://markets.ft.com/investmentBanking/tablesAndTrends.asp

 

I think I'm going to trust the ones you have to pay for, and what every bank uses.

Also, I don't see why looking at fees should be a factor. Any bank can get a client to sign a mandate, but actually closing the deal is what's important. Also, if one bank charges a higher % for closing a transaction, that doesn't make them any better.

Going to the bank that closes the most high-profile deals is what it's all about in PE recruiting.
