Best Debt, Equity, & Structured Finance Groups in NYC

Considering a pivot from Analyst with an Investment Sales group to a D/E shop. Any thoughts on the best Institutional groups in NYC? I believe the top 2 are Aaron Appel's team at Walker & Dunlop and Newmark's Stolly and Roecshlaub.

 

CBRE's group is also good and growing. Eastdil still does a good bit of business. The CW team has improved due to Spies and Harmon passing them deals. Also the two you mentioned kill it, but aren't known to be very pleasant places to work.

There's a lot of shooters in NYC that kill it but move in silence:

IronHound Management https://ironhound.com/ Best CMBS RX shop hands down. Also does D/E placement. Run by "Large Loan Verrone"

ParkBridge Financial http://www.parkbridgefinancial.com/ (ex BAML guys - a lot of CMBS securitization/trust advisory to lenders and bond buyers but can also do vanilla placement for borrowers)

Lotus Capital Partners http://lotus-cp.com/ Came out of nowhere and starting doing sexy off-the-run stuff (i.e. London condo inventory loan with apollo for $237MM/$400MM mandarin construction loan in Boca/Sold mezz to Koreans for Natixis on deal in NJ, etc.)

Paramount Advisory https://www.paramountadv.com/ (Does a lot of debt syndication advisory. Sells mezz to Asian investor-lenders that are "off market" or groups that aren't formally lenders with an originations desk but will trade mezz/b-pieces).

Talmage LLC http://sharpthink.com/clients/talmage/advisory.html Technically an nvestment manager but also does advisory (placement, restructuring, loan sales, etc.) and servicing

Don't sleep on these types of shops!!!!

I had a flair for languages. But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds fucking sterling.
 

Traynor and Millon at CBRE are killing it too. Eastdil always strong as well.

I also know some guys from Studley (Jeff Baker and Graham Hobbs) went over to PJT to build a property level capital advisory vertical. Would be curious to hear how they're doing. Haven't hear a peep since they went over but would imagine their funds advisory stuff flows down to asset-level mandates.
