Based on the most helpful WSO content, the best teams at Deutsche Bank (DB) in London for exits into Private Equity (PE) are not explicitly listed. However, for general guidance on top teams for PE exits in London, US bulge bracket banks such as Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan (JPM), Citi, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) are highly regarded. Additionally, boutiques like Lazard and Rothschild are also noted for strong PE exits.
For more specific information on Deutsche Bank's teams, you might want to explore further discussions or threads on WSO or consult with industry professionals who have direct experience with DB in London.

Industrials, LevFin, Infra, TMT
REGLL is good. Placed few ppl into REPE funds. One recent one is Ares RE.
He's in Real Estate Debt at Ares
It's strange, everyone I know who went DB then MF PE (2 BX, 2 Apo, 1 KKR) are all LSE grads...
Industrials and TMT are the only decent groups for corporate PE but still an uphill battle. Haven’t heard of any good exit lately except 2-3. Infra and levfin are also reputable teams but will place in their respective asset class (infra and private credit).
Quite frankly you don't come here to exit to PE per se, you lateral to another bank and then you try your luck
Exactly. Lateral from DB to a top BB and recruit for PE would probably be easier
LevFin Industrials and TMT - though culture is quite tough across all 3
Industrials and Levfin culture are awful - associates and VP people who will make your life a living hell.

Cheers boss going to avoid both at group selection for SA
Any insights on TMT or Infra?
Threads like this exist yet American sophomores who cosplay as AN1 - coverage (who get all their info from pre-Covid WSO threads) would go on every London IB thread and tell everyone that DB > PJT/EVR because London is different and that even HSBC is better than the EBs

Coverage teams: Industrials and TMT
Other: LevFin, mainly to Private Credit
