out of the ones you named, HL is quite strong very high volume shop, recently bolstered its tech coverage by acquiring GCA, have seen exits to BBs and LMM PE. Would say HL is slightly above those industry focus boutiques like Arma. Don’t know much about Gleacher other than that they have a decent RX presence in London. Also not sure if you would consider Jefferies in the MM category?

 

HL is strong in M&A and Rx (same deals as Rothschild but less prestigious than PJT in Rx).

Arma is great for Tech. Clearly market has changed but their people had until recently preferred access to Hg, EQT, Vitruvian etc. strong deal flow and recognised name.

Gleacher/Stifel are very UK-focused names. I’d say no particular reputation and exit opps limited to UK small/mid-market funds.
