What's been going on at Moelis Houston?
Curious to know what transactions their energy team has been working on, if they've been busy, and general culture with all the Gugg and Citi guys.
Also want to know how the clean tech group is
Yep
thanks for the insight - intern / consultant.
these guys have been at moelis for 3 months. nobody hits home run M&A transactions that quickly into joining a new bank. good grief.
Why “even GS”? Know couple people there and they work a lot like at Jefferies, but typically the volume is less and sizes of the deals are larger. What would the energy ranking look like on the street there? Sorry for diverting from the main topic
Bump - honestly if someone can drop an energy league table that would be helpful.
Wait another year or so. They just joined a few months back.
+1 - these deals don't happen overnight. Clients have been long signed to their advisors on the deals announcing now, they can't just jump ship mid-deal
Yeah wonder what the YTD energy league tables look like
They do a lot of international RX work - if you are a private company doing an out of court process, that transaction won’t be public. Also do a ton of family office work - same concept of privacy applies to this as well
Thank you for this color, it\\s really helpful

This thread is perfect encapsulation of the fact that we have too many college kids on this forum
Have heard similar sentiments about Energy group being on the quieter side. Clean tech group I have heard is v solid and has strong deal flow since they brought over those MS seniors.
What MS seniors are you referring to? Didn’t they come from Citi?
Rick (ex-MS) and Arash (ex-Citi) are the clean tech group heads
what’s the word on citi and gugg these days
Top brass at Citi went to Gugg and then all those guys went to Moelis

It's only been six months since Trauber got there, you can't really make a judgment either way yet. It usually takes a while to get ramped up at a new place, can be a year+. This time next year if they don't have some things announced with a bunch of live projects in the pipeline then sure.
I'm not making a call either way, very well could be in the same place a year from now. Making the transition from a balance sheet bank to a boutique is tough if your schtick is "large corporate M&A". If you aren't in the revolver you're written off from a ton of those opportunities right out of the gate. You usually need some kind of edge that justifies tossing you on the mandate (often as a co-advisor) like hyper technical MDs, an expansive A&D team, or Skip McGee being golf buddies with the CEO.
Laghari is a stud… no one becomes head of upstream at citi at 36 y/o without making it rain
