The US bank has earned the most in fees in global investment banking, US investment banking, debt capital markets, equity capital markets and syndicated loans, according to figures from Dealogic. 

Only Goldman Sachs stands in the way of a clean sweep: the US investment bank sits atop the ranking for M&A revenues

Global investment banking revenue stands at $70.5 billion, down 9% from the total for 2015. 

These league tables are a contentious subject on Wall Street. Banks use them when pitching for new business, and a good ranking means serious bragging rights. But the league table-data can also be sliced up to make a bank's performance look better (by narrowing the field very narrowly, for example).

Though they're based on estimates, these tables are the broadest possible and a closely-watched indicator of who is up and who is down. Here's how the banks stacked up this time around.

The US investment banking league table almost exactly mirrors the global ranking, reflecting the importance of the US market. 

The only difference is that Wells Fargo ranks eighth in the US, and ninth globally, while Deutsche Bank ranks eighth globally, and ninth in the US.
