Goldman Sachs holds on to top spot as Morgan Stanley gains

摘要

Goldman sachs, the biggest investment banking fee earner globally in the year to date, saw its lead over rivals shrink again during June, with its share of the pot falling to 7.4% from 7.6% at the end of May. June has been the best month so far this year for banks, especially in the equity space, where global IPOs and other deals generated US$2.6bn in fees for the industry - substantially more than the US$1.8bn average during the first five months of the year. Loan fees also surged. The month saw some high-profile listings, including the US$732m debut of Fitbit in the US and US$1.44bn-valued IPO of Axovant Sciences.
