JPMorgan ranked as the top investment bank globally by fees for 2015, according to data provider Dealogic, with Goldman Sachs a close second.

JPMorgan made $6 billion in fees for work on equity and debt deals, mergers and acquisitions, and syndicated loans, according to the data. Goldman raked in more than $5.1 billion.

No other Wall Street bank cracked the $5 billion mark for investment-banking revenue. Bank of America Merrill Lynch placed third behind Goldman, followed by Morgan Stanley.

The two banks dominated across regions and business lines.
