Top Adviser by Value and Volume
Citi and Rothschild & Co emerged as the top mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial advisers in Europe for Q1 2021 in terms of value and volume, respectively.
Citi advised on 14 deals valued at $59.5bn, which was the highest value among all the advisers. Rothschild & Co led in volume terms having advised on 48 deals worth $11.3bn.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Rothschild & Co held the top spot in terms of deal volume but lagged behind many of its peers in terms of deal value. Surprisingly, it also did not feature among the top 10 advisors by value.
“Meanwhile, Citi, which advised on much lesser number of deals and did not even feature among the top 10 advisors by volume, managed to top the list by value due to the involvement in big ticket deals. The firm advised on seven billion-dollar deals (deals worth greater than or equal to $1bn), which also included two megadeals valued more than $10bn.”
