This is where you should be working, bank by bank, market by market 4 April 2011 Sarah Butcher

If you aspire to work for a bank that’s the global market leader in your product area, but for some reason are ignorant as to which bank that is, we have the answers.

Health warning: Market share figures are relative to other banks listed. They don't include JPMorgan. Nor do they include BAML, RBS or Nomura. Credit portfolios for French banks include financing activities and aren't exactly the same as credit trading at US banks... The figures do, however, give a rough idea of where each bank listed stands relative to the others...

Woah, very comprehensive, good find and thanks for sharing. This is better than all that arbitrary ranking bullshit that goes on.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

As far as M&A advisory goes, I think a more interesting measure would be advisory fees per analyst. It's no surprise that the bigger banks dominate the field in terms of absolute market share, but it's possible that analysts at elite boutiques are getting deal experience equal to or better than the average bulge bracket analyst. It's really a matter of many deals and many analysts vs. fewer (yet quite large) deals and fewer analysts. Of course, I realize it's probably quite difficult to get such a measure, but I do think it would be insightful for people figuring out where they want to work.

Interesting list, though.

 

I agree, without Citi, JPMorgan, and BAML the list has an inaccurate skew towards Goldman in several product groups.
