There on the upward part of the curve after a few years of depressed growth - all divisions on song, involved in most of the major M&A deals, still some work needed on equities/dcm - hence a challenge and it would be exciting to be part of that.
However, culture is a problem - everyone constantly watching their backs for knives...
what are some of the more notable deals that they worked on that would have been typical of GS, MS, Lehman etc? (esp in the tech industry)
I am currently running through Factiva, Rueters and news archives to pick up the same.
Thanks in advance for your response.
I'm pretty sure they've been involved in some of the major energy capital markets and M&A deals - check that sector. Also quite active in the PE space.
are you interviewing for?
invested in Hertz (and am sure helped advise) and are currently investing and advising on the HCA LBO, two huge deals, especially the HCA one
technology industry success at ML?
any tech industry successes at Merrill? Which banks top the tech sector? Is ML in the top 10 here?
Merrill had a lot of Tech M&A deals over the summer. They were all done out of the tech m&a group in the palo alto office. The bigger ones are:
HP / Mercury - 4.5 billion EMC / RSA - 2.3 billion IBM / Filenet - 1.6 billion
What's the generalist program like at ML?
IDD Announces 9th Annual IDD Deals of the Year Awards for 2006 M&A, Private Equity Dominate; ESPN Anchor Dan Patrick to Keynote Awards Reception
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 16, 2007 -- Investment Dealers' Digest (IDD), a SourceMedia publication, today announced its selections for the IDD Deals of the Year Awards for 2006. Given the record year for mergers & acquisitions as well as private equity, many of the winning deals were M&A transactions. All award winners are profiled in-depth in this week's issue of IDD and online at www.iddmagazine.com.
The winning investment banks and private equity firms will be recognized at tonight's Deals of the Year Awards Reception at the W Hotel in midtown Manhattan, an invitation-only event that will feature keynote speaker Dan Patrick, ESPN Anchor and host of the Dan Patrick Radio Show.
"Not only was 2006 the year of the mammoth transaction, but it was a year when the largest private equity firms and hedge funds exerted dominance and influence in the capital markets," said Adam Reinebach, publisher of IDD. "While private equity firms had plenty of equity to spend, it was access to capital that really opened the door for the surge in public-to-private deals."
One of those deals was the leveraged buyout of HCA by Bain Capital, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Merrill Lynch. The $33 billion deal won awards in two categories -- M&A Deal of the Year and Healthcare Deal of the Year.
The overall Deal of the Year was the sale of General Motor's GMAC unit. In addition to giving a new life to GM, the deal was significant on several fronts, as it underscored the financial clout of hedge funds, while at the same time demonstrating the new level of sophistication seen in today's capital markets.
The 2006 Banker of the Year is Evercore Partners' Co-Founder Roger Altman, who oversaw and helped spearhead the growth of the bank, which went public in 2006, made important hires to its team, and most importantly continued to win mandates for high-profile transactions.
