Raine Group & Qatalyst London

Which of these two banks are widely known for recruiting very exclusively from Oxbridge? Asides CVP, what other boutiques & MMs are known for this exclusivity?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, neither Raine Group nor Qatalyst is specifically highlighted for recruiting exclusively from Oxbridge. However, CVP (Centerview Partners) is noted for its exclusivity in recruiting.

For other boutiques and middle-market (MM) firms known for exclusivity, particularly in London, firms like PJT Partners, Evercore, and Lazard are often mentioned for targeting highly prestigious universities, including Oxbridge. Additionally, firms like Rothschild and Moelis also tend to focus on top-tier academic institutions, though not necessarily with the same exclusivity as CVP.
