The planned IPO of 7-year-old investment bank Moelis & Co. is a signal of just how far boutique bankers have yet to come — that, in spite of all their hopes in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, they’re still stuck in their niches while the largest institutions are more dominant than ever.
