Global Announced M&A - YTD as of 3Q 2010: 1. GS 2. MS 3. JPM 4. CS 5. BAML 6. Deutsche 7. BarCap 8. UBS 9. Lazard 10. Citi

Global Completed M&A - YTD as of 3Q 2010: 1. GS 2. MS 3. Citi 4. JPM 5. CS 6. BarCap 7. UBS 8. BAML 9. Deutsche 10. Lazard

The stark contrast in Announced vs. Completed so far this year can largely be accounted for by the few headline-busy mega-deals that are being contested and haven't completed yet, that is if they go through at all (i.e. BHP Billiton - Potash, Sanofi Aventis - Genzyme, etc).

Very surprised to see Citi so low in the Announced league table as it's been in the top 5 every year for the last 10 years. Also surprised to see how well CS is doing this year in M&A.

 

Just don't take league tables too seriously (for example, to make an offer selection decision), especially when there's a full quarter left to go in the year. One BB being a rank, or even 3, above another doesn't mean very much.

But I do agree to some extent about Completed vs. Announced. These tables are severely skewed due to BHP-Potash, which had a cumulative 9 financial advisors (4 BB's) for the two sides. 2 advisors on one side is inefficient enough, I can't even imagine the team dynamics and internal politics on that deal lol.

Lol @ Diamonds trying to praise Barclays everywhere

full disclosure: I am accepting Barcap fulltime

Good decision, but I am not trying to push BarCap or anything. I was just giving the OP what he was asking for - it seems as though the person who responded first just happened to leave out the US tables. I also thought everyone would of wanted to see global debt & equity considering it accounts for the rest of the investment banking business.

Don't blame me if the numbers look nice; these are just the standard tables.

I could have posted the Global Debt league tables

 

OP: see if you can get it off Thomson yourself if i remember correctly, as long as you give an email address that is not a typical email (e.g. yahoo, gmail, hotmail) you should get it

this is esp if you're not interested in the US. i see that this is what the above posts are about
