Middle-Market Investment Banking Rankings

Got this off Deloitte's Investment Banking division's website. According to Thomson Financial:

Mid-Market Financial Advisor No. of Deals
KPMG Corporate Finance 382
PricewaterhouseCoopers 278
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu – Corporate Finance 238
Rothschild 204
Citi 200
Ernst & Young LLP 177
UBS 164
IMAP 164
Credit Suisse 137
Lazard 134
JP Morgan 127
M&A International 123
Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin 121
BNP Paribas SA 120
ABN AMRO 115
Nomura 108
Jefferies & Co Inc 104
Goldman Sachs & Co 101
Morgan Stanley 98
Merrill Lynch 97

I was curious as to how the people on this board would interpret these rankings.

 

basically this deals only with middle market deals of course.. smaller boutiques like Rothschild are going to be on the top since this is what they mostly but banks like MS or ML that don't rank high are still going to better.. they do the big deals

if your looking to go work for a boutique i would say that Lazard, houlihan, Blackstone (if you count their M&A side as boutique) would all be strong

I wouldn't go for Big4 corporate advisory based on this list alone. Average deal size of KPMG is 21 million, PwC is 27.5 million, Deloitte is 25.7 million, etc. Actually, even if you go down the list the average deal sizes are fairly low (~65-75 million). This list is obviously doctored to include only sub-100 million dollar deals. Believe me, you don't want to be doing 21 million dollar all cash tuck-in deals.

Also, it doesn't say what role Deloitte played. Did Deloitte just provide fairness opinion?
