UBS Now 6th Best European-HQed IB in 2025

Based on dealogic league tables for overall global revenue and European M&A (Dealogic YTD 2025) I think there is the case to be made the UBS is now squarely number 6.

Barclays - Higher Global Fees

Deutche Bank - Higher Global Fees

BNP Paribas - Higher Global Fees

Rothschild - Higher Europe M&A

Lazard - Higher Europe M&A
