Metals and mining IB in Europe
Hi everyone,
I'm very interested in possibly working in Metals and Mining investment banking and potentially following a career in something like CorpDev at a firm like Glencore or working directly in a mining company but I'm having trouble finding detailed information on the subject. I have a few questions and would appreciate any insights you can provide:
- Does the Metals and Mining field (particularly for banking but also in general) have a significant presence in continental Europe (e.g., Paris, Geneva, Zurich), or is it primarily based in London?
- In Europe, including both the continent and London, which are the top groups in the sector? Are any of the top groups part of Energy, Power/Utilities, or Industrials, or are they typically separate coverage groups? On this note, is there a list of which banks have their own dedicated Metals and Mining group, any of the EBs?
- Are there any other specific coverage groups that could still open doors to this field? Is perhaps general experience at a good investment bank sufficient to be competitive for this type of exit opportunities?
Thank you in advance.

Non-M&M banker here but hear good things from the Canadian / Australian banks, RBC, Macquarie, BMO, CIBC etc have very good teams (not sure if its London specific) but i think M&M is quite a globally-focused sector, that you'll be covering companies in countries beyond whatever region you're in.
London’s lost a lot of relevance as a mining destination, so it’s a lot smaller than it used to be. Some smaller things in Switzerland, but otherwise mostly London based.
JEF M&M quite good.
Based out of NYC office but they have closed a ton of deals and do a lot of international transactions
