I think this’ll obviously position Moelis a lot better than where it was previously. It’ll be seen if this puts Moelis near the other top banks or no.

Laghari and the ex-Guggenheim team showed they couldn’t do anything at Gugg. Steve also, like them, had the support of a balance sheet previously (at both UBS and Citi) while lending which Moelis doesn’t have. I think Steve will obviously be a marked improvement but I doubt they’ll be able to swing to the top of the league table.

 

I spoke to a banker this morning, and he shares a similar opinion about whether or not Moelis will rise to the top: "I'll believe it when I see it"

This is clearly incorrect that Laghari and Burpee didn’t have a positive impact at Guggenheim. Guggenheim announced 3 deals in the upstream space in the year they were there versus two upstream deals in the entire three years prior.

anyone who was expecting for Guggenheim to become a JP Morgan doesn’t know how banking works.

the two citi guys left of their own accord, Guggenheim didn’t push them out 

 

The Citi people were only at Guggenheim for ~1 year. Any deals announced during their time were brought in well before they joined.
