Bulge bracket

Most "bulge bracket" banks maintain central offices in New York City, one of the three key global financial hubs alongside London and Hong Kong.[1]

Bulge bracket banks are the world's largest global investment banks,[2] serving mostly large corporations, institutional investors and governments. The descriptor "bulge bracket" comes from the way investment banks are listed on the "tombstone", or public notification of a financial transaction,[3] where the largest advisors on investment banking operations (mergers, acquisitions, IPOs, or debt issuance) are listed first.[4] The designation of a bulge bracket bank is primarily based on the bank's financial advisory business, as opposed to sales and trading.
