With how much fund sizes have grown in the past couple years I think the following categorization (in terms of latest fund size). Like IB rankings there are general truths (i.e. GS > UBS) but not clear cut. After going through interviews (and seeing how interviewers categorize themselves) I'd say:

LMM: <500mm

MM: <2bn

UMM: <8bn (honestly this starts getting murky) 

MF: 8-10bn+
