I never expected to revisit the topic of bulgebracket banks so quickly because the full list changes slowly, and we updated it a few years ago. What is a “BulgeBracket Bank”? The name “bulgebracket” (BB) comes from the prospectus for an IPO or debt issuance, which lists all the banks underwriting the deal.
