Thomson Financial League Tables

Thomson Financial's standard league tables are rankings of Investment Banks in terms of the dollar volume of deals they work on. New standard league table sessions in compliance with 2004 league table criteria for Debt, Equity, Syndicated Loans, Project Finance and M&A are currently available.

M&A League Tables criticisms

For example, in the mergers and aquisitions category, the purchase prices of the aquisitions that an Investment Bank advises on are added up, and Investment Banks are ranked in this way.

Critics say that these tables are very deceiving. Many of the rankings do not take into account how much money the investment bank is paid, so that someone can give away their advice for free and be ranked number one yet obviously make no money. Secondly, credit for advice or deals is often given to companies who didn't really work on a deal, in order to please that company. In short, critics lambast the league tables as a tool for Investment Banker's egos.
