The largest U.S. investment banks saw a recovery in total equity underwriting deal size for Q2 2016 from the dismal levels seen in the previous quarter – largely in line with the improvement in the overall industry. However, with global equity capital markets being well below the levels seen a year ago, all the banks reported a marked reduction in deal size year-on-year.

It should be noted that the largest equity capital market deals (IPOs and FPOs) employ more than one investment bank, so the market share figures are not exclusive.

Notably, Morgan Stanley wrested the top spot in terms of global deal size despite faring worse than rivals JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs in the U.S. and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) markets, thanks to significant gains in Asia. On the other hand, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch fell to the 5th spot among these banks despite ranking higher than Morgan Stanley in these regions because of its smaller presence in developing markets – especially China.
