Investment Banks Firm Size

While we often think about investment banks being large-scale entities, the truth is, most investment banks are quite small.

Pulling the number of deal makers per firm from our M&A Research database at Private Equity Info, I found the median investment bank has only four deal makers. Said another way, half of the investment banking firms have 4 or fewer deal makers.

Further, 90% of the investment banks have 12 or fewer deal makers.

The histogram below shows the breakdown.
