Goldman Sachs advised on $619.2bn worth of deals, while Houlihan Lokey advised on a total of 183 deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Houlihan Lokey, despite experiencing a significant drop in deals volume in 2022 compared to the previous year, managed to improve its ranking by this metric. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, which occupied the top position by value in 2021, also managed to retain the position in 2022 despite suffering a decline. Moreover, it was a clear winner by this metric as it was the only firm with more than $600bn in total deal value.

“Involvement in 18 mega deals, of which two were valued more than $50bn, played a pivotal role for Goldman Sachs in securing the top position by value. Meanwhile, apart from leading by value, Goldman Sachs also managed to occupy the second position by volume.”

As per GlobalData’s financial deals database, JP Morgan took the third position in the volume table with 145 deals; followed by Stifel/KBW with 125 deals; and Raymond James Financial with 125 deals.
