What Schools Does Deutsche Bank Recruit From?

Feeder schools, ranked

Public profiles that list both Deutsche Bank and an investment banking analyst title, by school, for graduates of 2013 or later — the analyst classes of roughly 2015 onward. Profile histories are matched loosely, so the title and the employer are usually but not always the same job. Each school links to its full placement page.

Share is each school’s slice of all 3,541 Deutsche Bank analysts in this era, not just the schools listed. Together these 39 schools account for 1,202 of them — 34% of the bank’s analyst population. The rest came from schools outside our measured set. 1 additional measured school fell below our 5-profile publication minimum.

Which pipelines skew newest

Share of each school’s Deutsche Bank analysts who graduated in 2018 or later — the classes hired since roughly 2020. A higher share means the pipeline leans recent; a lower one means it was built earlier.

How we counted

Counts come from People Data Labs, which aggregates public professional profiles. A person counts here when their profile lists the school in their education, a job title containing the phrase “investment banking analyst”, Deutsche Bank as an employer, and a graduation year of 2013 or later. Those are four conditions on one profile, not on one job: the source flattens employment history, so we cannot confirm the analyst title was held at Deutsche Bankrather than elsewhere in the same person’s career. For most people here it plainly was, but read the figure as profiles matched to the bank rather than as a verified headcount. The title filter excludes other divisions — equity research, sales and trading, asset management, and wealth management titles never contain the phrase — along with summer-analyst internships. Data pulled 2026-08-25.

That loose matching matters most where a bank employs a large non-advisory workforce, since a profile can pair an analyst title from one employer with a different employer elsewhere in the same career. Wells Fargo is the clearest case on this list: its investment bank is run out of Charlotte, which genuinely does pull from the Carolinas and Virginia, but it also employs far more people outside investment banking than any pure advisory firm here, so read its regional skew as real in direction and probably overstated in size. People titled just “Analyst” are missed throughout, which deflates every bank evenly. Read the table as a ranking of pipelines rather than an exact census, and see the full school ranking for each school’s complete numbers.
