Rank the MMs!

Since the BB and EB rankings seem rather clear, I wanted to see what everyone's rank was on the MM space out of these 10 firms based on deal flow, groups, comp, and exits:


Jefferies

HL

Baird

HW

Macquarie

WB

BMO

PNB

Piper

Oppenheimer

Lazard MM

  • any other you know

 Would love to see what people think!

 

Pretty iffy right now because of industry focus and COVID affecting deal flow, but generally:

1. Jefferies, WB, HL, Baird, HW, Lazard, PJS

2. Lincoln, Piper, Oppenheimer

3. TDS, PNB, BMO, Nomura, Macquarie

 

Not sure, only have one friend that works there, but I heard they've been hit hard by COVID. That being said, I heard their M&A and HC group is good, and they have decent exits from what I've seen, including one KKR guy a few years back.

Not sure how PJS is a Tier 1 given its limited scope and breadth.

Oppenheimer has very low volume, but is strong in specific areas (e.g. tech-enabled services, HC services). TDS does nothing of note in US MM M&A and who is PNB?

 

Also not sure if PJS is tier 1 given specialty focus (maybe tier 1 specifically in these areas?). Fwiw I understand PJS has been rapidly increasing scope and breadth (except for energy) with several new MD level hires and entry into new verticals. They are expanding FT and SA classes to support these new areas.
