It is the only leading firm that has increased its share of the global investment banking fee pool as measured by Dealogic in each year since 2010. Coming from a low of 4.4% that year, it ranked seventh in the fee tables for 2012, with a market share of 5.1% across debt and equity underwriting, syndicated loans and M&A.
After six months of 2013, it had pushed ahead to fifth, with a market share of 5.7%, just a whisker behind Morgan Stanley in fourth place with 5.9%, still some way behind the big three of JPMorgan (8.9%), Bank of America Merrill Lynch (7.5%) and Goldman Sachs (6.8%), but ahead of Deutsche (5.4%), Credit Suisse (5.1%) and Barclays (4.8%).
Renowned as a FICC firm with a strong debt capital markets capability even in the depths of the crisis, Citi is now gaining share in equity capital markets and M&A.
