Goldman Sachs held onto the top spot for the second consecutive year. That may change in the coming, with Evercore rising from 4th to 2nd, increasing its performance by .2 of a point. Evercore's gain was Morgan Stanley's pain, with the latter slipping two spots. The big news, however, came at Moelis & Company, which joined the Top 5 after increasing its score by nearly .4 of a point. For real impact, look no further than Lazard, which vaulted 13 spots to 7th, boosting its score from 2.774 to 7.492 in just one year. At the same time, JP Morgan suffered the worst tumble of 2018, plunging from 5th to 18th, with its score crashing by a mind-boggling 4.5 points in just one year.
