Hey all, how are you doing? I am deciding what group I want to work at as a Summer Analyst for Macquarie. I am deciding between LevFin and Infrastructure(Transportation and PPP's). Any recommendation of what is a better group or which one will give me more exit opportunities?

Leveraged Finance any day - you analyse a much broader range of companies.
Banks don't really make huge profits on project finance or infrastructure investments btw, so I'm sure you'll earn more as a LevFin banker any way..
A bit late to reply (most banks probably have finished placements by now) but would disagree with this.
LevFin does give you broader experience across industries, but Infrastructure coverage is Macquarie's breadwinner banking group and headhunters take that into consideration. Also gives much better experience in terms of modeling - they do M&A and principal investing in addition to project finance, and pretty sure all the models (including debt modeling) are run out of coverage group rather than LevFin. Career-wise, pretty sure the Infra groups are the most profitable which would be reflected in senior bank comp if you go that route.
That said, for generalist buy-side roles, tough to say - LevFin is traditionally the more relevant group and a quick Google search shows that Macquarie LevFin actually topped league tables for Q1 2016 (whether or not this has an impact on recruiting remain to be seen as they were closer to #10 before). But if infrastructure interests you enough to consider it, then you'll get a ton of opportunities for infra funds if you're in that group.
Infrastructure is a very strong group at Macquarie - would be hard to pass up
LevFin is usually strong at banks with large balance sheets (think CS, DB, JPM) Macquarie's strength is definitely in Infrastructure.
Personally I would go for Infrastructure.

Macquarie LevFin/FSG vs. Infrastructure (Originally Posted: 02/08/2016)
Can you guys give me the pros and cons to both the LevFin/FSG and Infrastructure groups at Macquarie? I would like to exit into a P.E shop after two years. But given you can do that from both groups, I would like to see what you guys think
