GlobalData ranks financial advisers by the value and number of mergers and acquisition (M&A) deals on which they advised

 Goldman Sachs took the top spot by value as it advised on $643bn worth of deals. Rothschild & Co led the volume table by advising on a total of 187 deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “All the top 20 advisers by volume registered a decline in the number of deals on which they advised in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021. In fact, most of them registered a double-digit decline. Meanwhile, Rothschild & Co, which led by volume, also registered a double-digit decline.

“In contrast, most of the top 20 advisers by value registered a growth in the total value of deals advised by them in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021. Interestingly, Goldman Sachs witnessed a growth of 7.8% in total deal value despite experiencing a decline in the number of deals it advised. It was also the only adviser that managed to surpass $500 billion in total deal value, thereby outpacing its peers by a significant margin.”
