Underrated M&A Groups?

I think everyone knows the usually strong M&A groups in the street that are consistent in placing in top rankings on the league tables.

But what about ones that are often overlooked but still are performing relatively strong, also maybe some that are turning up their acceleration in terms of recognition. Interested in any answer from MM banks to BBs and small boutiques to EBs.

Would love to hear thoughts!

Talking about MM, RBC P&U, Jefferies HC/O&G, and a few groups at HL have pretty good M&A deal flows, but fly under the radar for a few years.

If you are talking about the M&A product group, apart from MS/EVR, heard BofA and Citi have solid groups
