Goldman Sachs has made it a hat-trick, winning this award for the third year running and scoring a decent lead over runner-up JP Morgan.

Of the 10 investment banks with the biggest share of revenues in Europe during the first eight months of 2015, only four managed to increase their share compared to full-year 2014. Goldman Sachs did so by 1.4 percentage points, rising to the top spot for that period, leaping past Deutsche Bank and nudging ahead of JP Morgan.
