Do you think that Wells will expand in M&A? I've frequently heard there's not much M&A deal flow and it's mostly debt transactions by leveraging its balance sheet. Is it superior to places like Truist? I would assume it would be better to take UBS over WF?

 

If it's WF or JEF, it might be worthy thinking. WF is just better than BMO at nearly everything so don't look back.

 

Are JEF and WF comparable? Always thought JEF was significantly better because of more M&A deal flow? How does WF compare to UBS/DB? Is it possible to lateral to a BB/EB assuming a coverage group at NYC in WF?

 

JEF's M&A practice is still light years ahead of WF, although WF has been on an upwards trend and management seems committed to growing their advisory practice. My impression working at what WSO usually considers a mid-tier BB is that an argument can be made that JEF is comparable or even preferable to UBS/DB but WF is still a ways away. WF's name is easily good enough if you want to lateral to BB/EB.
