Top advisers by value and volume
JP Morgan and Rothschild & Co emerged as the top M&A financial advisers in the consumer sector for Q1-Q3 2021 by value and volume, respectively.
With 24 deals worth $34.1bn, JP Morgan recorded the highest value among all the firms. Rothschild & Co led the volume chart, with 48 deals worth $15.4bn.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Rothschild & Co was among the only two firms that managed to advise on more than 40 deals during Q1-Q3 2021. Although it led by volume, it lagged in terms of value due to its involvement in low-value deals and had to settle for the seventh position by value.
“Meanwhile, JP Morgan, which advised on half the number of deals compared to Rothschild & Co, managed to top the list by value. JP Morgan advised on 10 billion-dollar deals (valued more than or equal to US$1bn), while Rothschild & Co advised on three such deals.”
Bank of America took the second spot in the value table with 19 deals worth $28.5bn. It was followed by Goldman Sachs with 24 deals worth $27.2bn, Deutsche Bank with 19 deals valued at $23.2bn and Morgan Stanley with 17 deals worth $20.7bn.
PwC gained the second position in the volume chart with 42 deals worth $7.4bn. It was followed by Houlihan Lokey with 34 deals worth $3.5bn, KPMG with 31 deals worth $6.3bn and Deloitte with 31 deals worth $4bn.
