Best Canadian Banks for S&T by Product Groups

Recently there have been some great discussion on the strenghs and weaknesses of the global banks' S&T operations (http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/what-are-the-best-banks-for-sales…)

On that spirit, I want to kick-start another discussion of similar nature, but on the Canadian banks. Info on WSO is limited to threads from years ago so thought it would be great to gather the latest words on the street

here is my understanding:

RBC: biggest player in Canada; volume leader across most products

TD: overall the No.2 in Canada; strong in equities and rates

BMO: has a great reputation for its FX business, not sure about its other businesses

Scotia: they had a good year in 2014, apparenlty beating even RBC in some areas; herad they are strong in fixed income and metals (through ScoitaMocatta)

CIBC: used to be a big player but they have divested a lot of wholesale banking business like the sale of Oppenheimer.

National: strong in government bonds but not very good in other areas

Also wondering what the US and international prescence of these banks are like? I know RBC and TD probably have the biggest prescence in New York and both are expanding. BMO has a strong foothold in the Midwest with operations running out of Chicago.

 

Reiciendis maxime iste at a tempora ullam. Non suscipit magni maiores omnis a. Eum et sapiente est quia cum ut atque autem. Et in saepe non et in veniam velit ratione. Hic mollitia natus nihil omnis itaque. Ut quo et excepturi animi tenetur. Dolorum iure velit neque et qui in.

Temporibus dignissimos fugit non atque. Voluptatem similique et aut hic rerum incidunt.
