hell yeah, I am so happy for Credit Suisse. there is really not much difference between CS and ML. I hope by the time I start working at CS we will overtake the 5th spot!
Why JP Morgan always gets the largest number of deals but not the top in the league table?
large BS helps secure more deals
Thanks for the info thatguy123
Anyone know why there are discrepancies between the two tables' data?
I'm glad to see JPM and Citi getting their dues. I'm so sick of hearing everyone cream themselves over Lehman, but they're way down in 8th place, with less than 200 total deals. I think it's one of the most overrated firms on the b-school recruiting circuit.
as a followup, also from dealbook:
With the avalanche of deals announced this month, 2006 has shored up its claim as a banner year for buyouts. Thanks in large part to record fund-raising by private equity firms, seven of the top 10 leveraged buyouts of all time were announced or completed this year, with a total value of $177.5 billion, including debt, according to Dealogic.
