They’re typically split into industry groups and product groups, with industries focusing on healthcare, power & energy, technology, media, and financial institutions. Products focus on mergers and acquisitions, leveraged finance, public finance, asset financing and leasing, structured finance, and restructuring.
Evercore
Evercore is one of the largest independent investment banking groups worldwide.

It also advises private asset managers on recapitalization and liquidity transactions.

Compensation expense is generally based on revenue and can fluctuate materially in any particular quarter depending upon the amount of revenue recognized as well as other factors. This can lead to an increase in compensation expense in the current period compared to the prior period.
LionTree
The LionTree Group is an investment banking firm that focuses on technology, media and telecommunications (TMT). This includes advising clients on mergers and acquisitions as well as capital raisings.
Founded in 2012, LionTree is based in New York and serves clients around the world. It is involved in both investment banking and merchant banking and provides services such as mergers and acquisitions, share repurchase, capital raising, joint ventures and bankruptcy.
Since its founding, LionTree has worked on more than $300 billion in transactions and is a top-ranked U.S. and global TMT boutique, according to Dealogic. Its founders are Aryeh Bourkoff and Ehren Stenzler, who both formerly served as investment bankers at UBS.
Its current portfolio of clients is a mix of large and mid-cap companies across the industry. Examples of its recent work include Liberty Global’s acquisition of Virgin Media and BC Partners’ purchase of CenturyLink’s data centers.
One of the things that differentiates LionTree from other firms in its industry is its culture. The firm has a very flat structure and does not have a lot of formal job titles. This is a major factor that helps it retain young talent.
Another aspect of LionTree’s culture is its openness to new ideas. This is something that sets them apart from other banks and makes them a great place to work for those looking to break into the industry.
In addition to this, LionTree has an impressive list of clients. Some of them are household names like Verizon and Yahoo!
The firm has also advised on some of the most important deals in TMT. These include the Verizon-Yahoo deal, and Liberty Global’s acquisition of Virgin Media.
Despite its size, LionTree is one of the strongest firms in TMT. This is because it combines both investment banking and merchant banking.
Its strategy is to provide clients with tailored ideas and actionable opportunities. This is done by combining deep sector expertise with unyielding execution. The firm has offices in New York, San Francisco, London and Paris.
Its team of more than 100 people is led by Aryeh Bourkoff and Ehren Schenzler, who are both former UBS alumnus. They have a strong track record in the industry and are known for their innovative approach to investing and mergers and acquisitions. They have been involved in many high-profile deals, including Liberty Global’s $16 billion purchase of Virgin Media and Warner Music Group’s purchase of EMI Group’s Parlophone Label Group.
Deutsche Bank
Founded in 1870, and headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Deutsche Bank provides retail and private banking, corporate and transaction banking, lending, asset and wealth management products and services and focused investment banking to clients in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Its purpose is to enable economic growth and societal progress through its positive impact.
With its extensive network and expertise, the bank can provide comprehensive financial solutions that help people build a better future for themselves and their families. The company’s global operations support all aspects of the banking industry, from capital markets to investment management and credit, with offices in 58 countries.
The investment bank offers a full range of global banking products and services to institutional and corporate clients with risk management and liquidity provision, financing capabilities, origination and advisory services in all areas, and a strong focus on the underlying business. The bank’s Private Bank provides affluent and entrepreneur clients in Germany and globally with the most advanced and comprehensive private banking services and wealth management solutions, including investment advice, wealth planning, trust services, and custody and custodial services.
In July 2019, CEO Christian Sewing announced a fundamental shift in the bank’s strategy, stating that “Deutsche Bank has refocused its activities on a much more concentrated client base.” He said this was designed to strengthen its core banking business, which includes lending to large and medium-sized German and European companies as well as to the US market. The restructuring aims to make the business more focused on a smaller number of its top 100 clients and at the same time improve revenues.
On the surface, this isn’t a particularly bold move. Rather, it reflects the bank’s recent experience in restructuring its US operations under Dodd-Frank regulations.
And the success of that restructuring has been apparent in the firm’s results. Overall revenues, which had been on the decline in recent years, have risen by 19% over the last four quarters. That’s a bigger jump than at rivals such as Goldman Sachs, which have also stripped out their equities business, and it puts the lender in good company with Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan.
