JPM M&A - Deal flow, and exit opps?

Can you comment on the culture, deal flow, and exit opps at JPM M&A?
I am interested in how it stacks up with industry groups at GS / MS on these dimensions, and also on the deal flow and types of deals they typically work on.

Thanks.

 

What position you are talking about ?Just curious. JP's FIG, NRG and CHR are really strong but also very tough teams. They've done some of the largest deals out there. TMT is also solid.

 

Will that be JPM Cazenove? Or JPM (Europe)?

The UK league tables are more volatile, but generally, JPM Caz are top 5 in the UK M&A.

In Europe they are top 3.

__________ Just my 2c.

From the website:

M&A teams are based in London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Moscow and Paris, and cover the following countries:

  UK <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr> (J.P. Morgan Cazenove)

  Nordic <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  Benelux <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  French <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  Iberian <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  German/Austrian/Swiss <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  Italian <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  CEEMEA <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

  Russian <abbr title="mergers and acquisitions">M&amp;A</abbr>

As far as I understand, all UK m&a business is concentrated in jpm cazenove, which is supposedly an absolute elite group.

It's hard to get more infos on the other teams though. But looking at the Q2 2010 thomson reuters league tables they arent doing so well this year in germany.

 

Hmm and how does their Russian M&A rank? It would be great if you can look that up, I do not have access to the reuters league tables.

Great, tight team. As has been documented, JPM has been leading in M&A recently. Smart people, have a buddy starting there soon. JPM has been able to unquestionably capitalize on GS's recent negative publicity, and with moves such as the AT&T bridge loan, has raised the bar.

That said, I think MS M&A is still the reigning champ in terms of exit opps, and the top industry groups at GS are still pretty serious. Not sure about MS industry groups - obviously Tech in MP has been highly-regarded.

 

Probably ranked right below GS TMT and MS M&A in terms of best groups to work for out of NY. Obviously GS FIG and MS Tech are up there as well but I've heard they got top notch placement at Megafunds for NY in this year's PE recruitment process.
