Top Advisers by Value and Volume
JP Morgan and China Everbright Bank were the top mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial advisers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region for Q1 2021 by value and volume, respectively.
JP Morgan advised on nine deals valued at $17.2bn – the highest value among all the advisers. Meanwhile, China Everbright Bank led the volume chart, having advised on 11 deals valued at $727m.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “China Everbright Bank was the only adviser to advise on more than 10 deals. However, the firm not only lost the top position by value to JP Morgan but also failed to find a place among the top 10 advisors by value due to involvement in low-value transactions.
“Meanwhile, JP Morgan apart from leading by value also gave tough competition for top position by volume and occupied the second position among the top 10 advisors by volume. The firm managed to advise on five billion-dollar deals (≥ US$1bn) and involvement in such big-ticket deals helped it top the list by value.”
