Interested in thoughts around which banks have some of the best distribution teams on the M&A side (i.e., distribution as a business model). I've anecdotally heard the likes of Blair, Baird and Houlihan but am interested if anyone has any insights. Appreciate the help.

I'd say Blair and Houlihan are the top two in terms of EV, quantity and deal quality
This is kind of shocking to me. Distribution is one of Baird's best groups and I had thought that they dominated the middle market.
They do
Yeah, I don’t think HL or Blair are close to Baird in this space.
