The dominance of the five major US banks started to show in March. All of them have now taken more than US$1bn in estimated fees this year from M&A advisory, equity and debt underwriting and syndicated lending. Their nearest competitor, barclays, has only notched up US$723m, according to Refinitiv data. It is followed by fellow European banks Deutsche bank and credit Suisse in the global rankings. The US pack is led by jp morgan, which has received US$1.46bn from 922 deals, giving it a market share of nearly 7%. That puts it ahead of goldman sachs, with US$1.33bn from 544 deals. Both banks remain in the same positions they occupied a year ago.
