How is an intern a mentor? Someone come get this man
Need to change my title - I’m not an intern lol.
Commenting from a M&A perspective:
1. HL
2. William Blair
3. Baird
4. Solomon
5. Stifel
6. Key
7. BlackArch
8. BMO
9. BGL
10. Stout
Where would Cowen / Jefferies / Gugg rank in this list
What happened to BMO?
Jefferies around HL level. Cowen around Stifel / Key level. Don't know any juniors from Gugg, but know some MDs that came from there that are solid at sourcing. I don't know enough to rank but would say solid shop.
Nothing really happened to BMO just my opinion on a rank - more broadly speaking would throw them in the Stifel / Key bucket. For sell-side PE pitches, I see BlackArch much more than BMO.
For sure, thanks for the insight man.
1- Houlihan Lokey
2- Solomon
3- William Blair
4- Baird
5- Stifel

Never seen anything from Stout before. Agreed on everything up to that. Why place them before BMO and BGL
Differences between them are negligible, but Stout is trending up a bit with some new hires, better quality deals.
BMO is a clusterfuck and very disorganized. BGL sucks and does a ton of hairy LMM deals. Never been impressed with their product. The best people always try and lateral out.
