What even do small no names do for DCM or ECM work? Are those just cap raises?
From what I've seen, some cap raises and some participation on larger 1bln+ issues (I assume they get allocated a small piece through relationships?).
If you are working on large deals I would say you are good. Usually, no names do more M&A because there is no capital commitment for the underwriting.
Could I lateral to M&A at a MM-level shop with no M&A experience or is that too much of a stretch? For reference it seems like 80/20 split with small cap raise deals to larger investment grade issues.
