The 16-year-old firm has been an adviser on five massive transactions in what has been one of the busiest years for mergers and acquisitions on record.

Its biggest deal yet, Pfizer's $160 billion deal with Allergan, was announced Monday.

Guggenheim Securities is one of three boutiques advising Pfizer on the inversion deal.

The others are Moelis & Company and Centerview Partners. Goldman Sachs is also advising Pfizer on the deal.
