Bank of America Merrill Lynch has become the corporate broker with the most FTSE 100 clients, Financial News research reveals, a whisker ahead of JP Morgan, long regarded as the leader in the business.
BAML has 31 clients on the FTSE 100, the index of the UK's biggest listed companies, to JP Morgan's 30, the analysis shows. Only six months ago, in the 2015 Financial News investment banking awards, JP Morgan was named UK Corporate Broking House of the Year.
