Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that several banks have a strong presence in the equity space.
Morgan Stanley (MS) is notable for investor structuring and is well placed for mandates with an ECM origin, as well as with structured investment products.
French banks are good at equity exotics.
However, Citi is particularly weak in the equities space.
UBS is really strong in Hong Kong.
Credit Suisse is exceptional amongst BBs in Brazil.
Goldman Sachs (GS) underwrites a ton of IPOs so their equity desk is very good.
Morgan Stanley (MS) is an equity powerhouse and also underwrites a ton of deals.
Credit Suisse (CS) is great at equities.
Remember, the strength of a bank in a particular area can change over time and can also vary by region. It's always a good idea to do some additional research and networking to get the most current information. Hope this helps, and best of luck!
