JP Morgan Financial Sponsors Group

hi WSO,

Anyone knows the intricacies of the FS group at JP Morgan in London? Do they execute the deals or industry coverage does all the quantitative work?

There is not a junior FSG team in London for JPM. Just coverage bankers that work with the industry teams.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.

I know an ex-financial sponsors IBD analyst at JPM. They have extremely good exit opportunities to PE firms. Financial sponsors varies from firm to firm, where at some banks, the deal execution is done by other product groups and not financial sponsors.

Sounds about right

Most Sponsors groups have very good exit opps due to the MDs' relationships with PE funds and the deal experience the analysts get. I wasn't under the impression that JP Sponsors did the deal execution, but placement there seems to be pretty good. Basically all the Sponsors groups besides GS/Barc have decent to great placement.

 

Sponsors at JPM doesn't have any Associates, so the analysts there get great exposure. The MDs there also go to bat heavily during recruiting season. One of the three strongest groups at the bank along with M&A and LevFin.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

Thanks a ton guys - really appreciate the insights

Lev Fin is strong but good luck getting into PE from that group. No modeling, only capital markets.

Sponsors is good and they place extremely well.
