Over the past two years, Citigroup’s investment-banking group has undergone a major face-lift.
It started in earnest in September 2018, Citigroup overhauled its investment-banking operations. Unlike most rivals across Wall Street, Citi had long had separate divisions for capital markets — raising debt and equity for corporations — and strategic advisory work on mergers and acquisitions and other deals.
The reorganization merged those two groups under one roof called Banking, Capital Markets, and Advisory, with the notion that it would create a simpler structure and foster closer collaboration between bankers. It’s just one of an array of divisional face-lifts Citi has undertaken in the past two years.
Citi has for years had ambitions of ascending the industry investment-banking league tables, and while it has grown revenues — they hit $5.2 billion in 2019, up 15% from 2015, according to public filings — the bank has been lodged firmly in the No. 5 spot in global investment banking market share for several years, according to Dealogic.
Along with the reorg came changes in the power structure. BCMA leadership was tasked to Tyler Dickson, previously the US-based global head of capital markets origination, and Manolo Falco, the European-based head of corporate and investment banking.
Ray McGuire, the global investment banking head for 13 years, shifted to a chairman role and continues to manage relationships with top corporate clients.
Other changes have followed since the inception of BCMA. New debt capital markets and regional heads were named several months later, and in 2019, new global coheads of equity capital markets were appointed.
A little over a year ago, Jamie Forese resigned his role as chief of the Institutional Client Group — the broader division that BCMA sits under — and global markets head Paco Ybarra succeeded him.
In its quest to grow market share, the firm has also made some splashy outside hires — including adding a trio of senior Deutsche Bank dealmakers as well as several from Goldman Sachs last summer.
