Title says it. Apart from GS/MS/JPM, which BB groups are considered top tier when considering deal flow and exit ops?

Credit Suisse: Levfin Origination/FSGBarclays: P&U/Natural ResourcesCiti: M&A/IndustrialsBAML: M&A/REGL/C&R/Levfin
this comment is quite accurate. CS FSG consistently sends analysts to MF/UMM; being in the group will essentially guarantee looks from all places. Barclays P&U still fares really well and you would see a couple of MF or hedge fund exits from there each year. Citi M&A and Industrials are both top-notch. BAML M&A and FSG have the strongest placement for corporate PE; the REGL group is the best on the street, sending at least half of the class to real estate MF/hedge fund every year.
What about BAML TMT?
Average group, mostly MM PE exits
Including some banks not always considered traditional BBs here. Also didn't include any bank that are higher than #5 on IB revenue league tables.
UBS- LevFin/Sponsors, M&A, Industrials. Tech used to be good before the recent exodus.
CS- LevFin/Sponsors, FIG used to be quite good before the Global Head and top MDs left for Jefferies last month
Barclays- NatRes, Power/Utilities are the big ones
RBC- Power/Utilities, FIG, M&A
DB- Sponsors- not sure how they are on the coverage side, someone can chime in here.
Jefferies- Healthcare, Energy, LevFin, M&A. A traditionally very average/below average group at JEF, maybe FIG will be good now with the CS MDs too soon to tell.
WF- People like to say LevFin, but that's because of people who don't understand how LevFin works and look at HY bond league tables which are dominated by BB issues. Others can chime in here as well.

Re: Barclays, P&U/NatRes are a bit down over the last while due to rainmaker exits, but conversely Industrials/Tech have really stepped up a lot. Would still probably say you have a better shot at MF PE (if that's your goal) from P&U/NatRes, but surely not a given and there's other Barc groups that can place at MFs (iirc I remember an Industrials analyst who left for Carlyle semi-recently). If you're dead set on MF at Barc, your best bets are P&U/NatRes/Industrials/FSG/Tech, probably in that order.
