Anyone have enough time in their miserable life to rank some merchant banks? I know of firms BDT, Lion Tree, Ducera, Ardea, Aeris, etc… but where do they all actually stand? God knows there’s about 100 of these rankings for BB/EBs but couldn’t find one for these types of banks so figured I’d start one here. Thanks

BDT is basically a MFO that does advisory for the families that gave them money. Their "investing" is mostly capital solution for families that gave them money. Byron Trott found a brilliant way to swindle and get rich
Liontree the investing side is bifurcated from the advisory side afaik
Dont think Ducera is a merchant bank
Who tf is Aeris
Ardea is trying to get rid of the investing side
Raine is a true merchant bank
