Top Banks for Healthcare?

Interested in primarily HC banking and was wondering which banks to target. Looking at Lazard, Jeffries, KeyBank, Cowen, Evercore, etc.? Thoughts on any of these in regards to which ones are coming up and good shops?

JPM/GS/MS are the best BBs and all are basically interchangeable. Usually one will be top of HC league tables, but none of them are consistently top. Really just comes down to who happens to be left out of the mega deal that year (2 of the 3 will be included). 
 

As far as boutiques, CVP is the best by a large margin. It seems like they’re basically retained by large cap pharma companies… Lazard, Evercore and Jefferies are also really good. After that, you have Cowen, SVB Leerink, Cain, and MTS, but thats getting a bit more nichey. 

 

Jefferies dominates HC services market. Regularly competes with EB/BB/MM and wins bids. Interesting fact, their former Head of HC IB is killing it in LMM (~150-200 mil size funds with 50%+ return - Regal Healthcare Capital Partners) PE. Lorello became Head of IB when he came from UBS, their former Head Santemma did too but became their Head of HC IB instead of the whole division.

How many times have you tried to sleep with Jon? Jefferies is legit. Regal is way too early to tell.
