Sponsor Groups?

Can anyone shed some color on different Sponsors Groups? Understand that CS and BofA are currently strong - how about Barclays, Citi (GAM), MS, JPM, etc.? How do deal flow / exit ops / culture compare?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Most sponsors groups are strong (in terms of PE exits) due to their relationships with PE firms and the LBO modeling in the group. Most sponsors groups are typically smaller in terms of team size. MS/JPM sponsors is very strong and Barclays' sponsor group is one of their best groups. Can't comment about Citi.
