Hi all! What are the biggest/strongest/most well known regional banks in Chicago? I have heard a lot about the MM banks but wanted some insight on the BB and EBs that have offices there. Thanks!

I heard Centerview opened up an office there, but it might be only a one or two man shop.
Citi has the largest presence in Chicago. Barclays analysts are generalists across tmt, sponsors, and industrials. Cs has a presence but I think it’s mostly nd kids as far as analysts go. MS has no analysts. Jpm has a diversified industrials group that iirc focuses on automotive. As far as eb’s goes, greenhill has an office there and analysts have placed very well historically. Moelis and Lazard also have offices. I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing but this is a start
GS fig and industrials + UBS industrials
how would these places compare in terms of exits?
Greenhill chi has best exits
Guggenheim started an office in Chicago recently and poached a few MDs from William Blair. I think the group might be focusing on MM mandates and seems to be expanding quick. JP Morgan also has a C&R group in Chicago if I’m not mistaken, but I have no clue how that compares to the NY group
To add, guggenheim is mm tech focused completely. At least as of now
Not true. They poached an MD from Laz MM awhile back. Evercore has a presence in Chi too.
JP Morgan is one of the best I think.
BBs
EBs
At the jr level it is more like 50/50 for Lazard RX across NY and Chicago. Same number of analysts and associates, actually more analysts in Chicago right now. Really strong group
Do you have any insight into the top MM banks in Chicago?
had no idea Centerview hired Rahm. Thx for that
Any other insight into ubs chi would be appreciated
