Which financial sponsor groups are more relationship oriented?

Curious as to which Canadian banks' have FSG that are more focused on the relationship management side with funds, as opposed to groups that are heavy on the modelling etc.

All FSG are client relationships heavy from VP onwards. You really have to be good in building relationships to climb the ranks. At the analysts/associate level, Some groups like CS/BofA do their own CF modeling but it’s really nothing complicated imo, and no one will give you a shout for being ‘technical’. Was at one of those group for a year but lateral to M&A as it better aligns with what I want to do in the LT.
