GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, has revealed its league tables for top 10 financial advisers by value and volume in Europe for Q1-Q3 2021 in its report, ‘Global and Europe M&A Report Financial Adviser League Tables Q1-Q3 2021’.

According to GlobalData’s M&A report, a total of 8,590 M&A deals were announced in the region during Q1-Q3 2021. The deal value for the region increased by 70.8% from $466bn during Q1-Q3 2020 to $796bn in Q1-Q3 2021.

Top Advisers by Value and Volume

Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co emerged as the top mergers and acquisition financial advisers in Europe for Q1-Q3 2021 by value and volume, respectively.

Morgan Stanley advised on 54 deals worth $232.9bn, which was the highest value in the chart. Rothschild & Co led the chart in terms of volume, having advised on 230 deals valued at $168.3bn.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Rothschild & Co was the only company to advise on more than 200 deals. It also registered a 72.9% year-on-year (YoY) volume growth. Despite this healthy growth, the company failed to secure a position among the top three financial advisers in terms of value and had to settle for fourth place instead.

“GlobalData’s study shows that companies that advise on high-value transactions such as billion-dollar deals (valued more than or equal to $1bn) and mega deals (valued more than or equal to $10bn) are most likely to secure the top spots by value. For instance, Morgan Stanley secured the top spot by value due to its involvement in 35 billion-dollar deals, which also included six mega deals. Similarly, Goldman Sachs, which occupied the second spot by value, advised on 48 billion-dollar deals, out of which four were mega deals.”
