Top Advisers by Value and Volume
JP Morgan emerged as the top mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial adviser in South & Central America for Q1 2021 in terms of value and volume. The firm advised on three deals worth $9.7bn, which was the highest value among all the advisers.
GlobalData lead analyst Ravi Tokala said: “JP Morgan emerged as a clear winner both in terms of value and volume and registered 1404.2% growth in value terms compared with Q1 2020. The billion-dollar merger of Hapvida Health System with Notre Dame Intermedica played an instrumental role in the ranking as the top four advisers by value (JP Morgan, Itau Unibanco, Citi and BTG Pactual) were involved in this deal.
“Despite a spike in South & Central American targeted deals, no advisors were able to cross $10bn mark, which is attributed to the absence of megadeals valued more than $10bn.”
Itau Unibanco took the second position in terms of value and volume with two deals worth $9.3bn. Both Citi and BTG Pactual occupied the third rank by value with one deal worth $9.1bn.
