Strongest groups in Deutsche, Houlihan Lokey, Barclays?
What are the strongest groups in these banks?
I have boutique IB experience so would love to work in M&A, but if it is not the strongest, I would prefer specializing according to individual firms.
all New York
DB - LevFin HL - RX Barcap - Nat Res/Power
Although HL Rx is tops, I'd lean towards M&A given the current state of the economic cycle. If you do go Rx, go Power & Energy. One of the only active sectors for Rx right now.
Also should note that HL's best Rx MDs are in Minneapolis.
Fixed income
DB - 1. Sponsors, 2. M&A Barcap - 1. Nat Res, 2. Sponsors HL - Rx
Barclays does M&A within the industry groups (huge positive for me). Historically, Power & Utilities / Natural Resources has placed well.
DB strongest groups in terms of exits to PE are M & A, Lev Fin & FS. Barclays is strong in NR, P & U & Retail as far as I can remember from my time in IB.
HL - Hands down restructuring. DB - Lev Fin.
How is HL's Sponsor Group?
Are the real estate groups at HL or DB strong?
RGLL group at DB is pretty strong from what Ive heard
Any insight on HL Miami office?
The Consumer, Food & Retail group within HL's CorpFin (M&A) is also a top group. Runs very lean but you'll work on a lot of live engagements. Great people to work with as well. Only downside to HL's M&A teams is that you might be the only analyst not only on the deals but the entire team (covering the particular vertical). If you have an offer at DB or Barclays I'd take those before HL
what's up with the illiquid financial assets group the HL launched last year? are they the only ones in that space? and is there really that much opportunity?
barcap: natural resources, HL: rx, DB: don't really know...
Bar cap - power and utilities, DB - lev fin, sponsors, industrials
Spoke to a HL associate in rx contemplating a move because, as others have already alluded to, activity in that space is on the decline as part of the macro cycle. Although it won't be felt immediately, over the medium term it might hinder your chances of buy side exits if your cv only reads a few debt to equity swaps when there aren't many distressed debt deals floating around. If u had the choice I would probably go bar cap or DB
HL AD&G kills
