IB Pulse
Investment banking market intelligence
M&A activity, advisory trends, league tables, fee dynamics, and sector coverage analysis for investment banking professionals and their finance teams.
Investment Banking Coverage
IB Pulse provides market intelligence at the intersection of investment banking and private capital. As the boundaries between advisory, principal investing, and capital markets continue to blur, banking professionals need intelligence that spans the full deal ecosystem.
Our IB coverage tracks M&A activity, leveraged finance dynamics, restructuring pipelines, and capital markets conditions. We provide the quantitative context — deal volumes, multiples, fee trends, and market share data — that banking professionals need to position for mandates, price engagements, and advise clients effectively.
For finance teams at banks and advisory firms, we provide operational benchmarks including revenue per banker, deal pipeline metrics, and technology adoption trends across the advisory industry.
