Based on financial deals database, Goldman Sachs advised on $8.3bn worth of deals, while PwC advised on a total of 41 deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Goldman Sachs suffered setback in terms of value in Q1 2023. The total value of deals advised by the firm fell by 80.5% from $42.8 billion in Q1 2022 to $8.3 billion. However, this did not deter the company from retaining its leadership position by value as none of the advisors were able to touch $10 billion in total deal value in Q1 2023 as market conditions remained volatile.

“Meanwhile, Akin to most of its peers, PwC also witnessed decline in deals volume in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022. However, the decline was relatively much lesser. Resultantly, it went ahead from occupying the second position by volume in Q1 2022 to lead the chart by this metric in Q1 2023.”

Morgan Stanley took the second place in the value table by advising on $6.8bn worth of deals, followed by Lazard with $6.1bn, Rothschild & Co with $5.7bn and UBS with $5.3bn.
