Prestige Ranking of Rankings and Ranking League Tables
Figured since we love ranking things, its about time to rank the rankings:
1. Dealogic/Bloomberg (http://graphics.wsj.com/investment-banking-scorec…) : The most widely used for ppt decks at least for the BBs that rank top 3. Hands down prestigious.
2. Euromoney (https://www.euromoney.com/best-investment-bank) : I think its good that they break it down by region, also all the banks seem to put Euromoney logo on ppts whenever they get something
3. Vault Rankings (https://firsthand.co/best-companies-to-work-for/b…) : I think are reasonably accurate, placed it here for the interns and prospects
4. tied Refinitiv (https://thesource.refinitiv.com/TheSource/getfile…) : I like the graphs, great geographic breakdown, only thing missing is a break down by industry
4. tied MergerMarket (http://www.mergermarket.com/pdf/MergermarketFinan…) : since its in a pdf it seems legit
5. Random Youtube video (youtube.com/watch?v=qOyHAcwR3bg) : the dude seems chill, but I guess for those who want to know what a BB, EB, MMs are.
7. Mergers and Inquisitions (https://mergersandinquisitions.com/top-investment…) : Good but not very quantitative
8. ADV Ratings (https://www.advratings.com/banking/top-investment…) : Just tells us the 10 largest, thanks...
9. Financial Times (https://markets.ft.com/data/league-tables/tables-and-trends) : I don't ever hear people actively refer to this. honestly all FT tables are poo
10. Wall Street Oasis Rankings by random interns/prospects, No Explanation required
11. The Balance (https://www.thebalance.com/best-investment-banks-…) : BAML and Innovation? CS for Recession Proof?? bEsT iN gErMaNy?!?!
12. Corporate Finance Institute (https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/c…) : Not helpful
during recruitment, i think ppl tend to care more about (1) exit opportunities and (2) firm-specific nuances (ie top teams) than how much advisory fees a firm generates
Campus hires probably, but when associate and beyond. Salary and Bonus, which somewhat correlates to fees.
1. The list that ranks my bank the highest
2. Everything else
What about pitch deck league table at my MM that slices by some obscure deal value range, dates, location, industry, sub vertical, and type of buyer to show my bank is above every BB?
i’ve seen hsbc pitch for a buyside and they somehow sliced and diced the different segments to show that they’re number 1
pure witchcraft
