Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights:

  1. For UBS, their LevFin group is the top group by revenue in the bank. Sponsors/LevFin has been historically strongest and would say it's still top. UBS does well in ECM / DCM, but can't really compete in M&A since around 2012 or 2013.

  2. In terms of S&T at BBs, JPM is probably most well rounded in everything. For the most part, it's just American banks at the top of everything now. Equities will be GS, MS, and JPM. Large part of it being their strong investment banking divisions / prime brokerage / private wealth. It's all crucial to having a strong equities S&T division. Securitized Products / Credit will be Citi, BAML, JPM. Strong consumer banks / mortgage underwriting will play a big factor in this.

  3. For product banking groups (Leveraged Finance, Structured Finance/ Securitization /Securitized Products Group, Restructuring, Debt Capital Markets, Equity Capital Markets etc..) the discussion is more about compensation figures rather than ranking of groups.

Remember, these are general observations and the specifics can vary based on numerous factors.
