By GlobalDataTop advisers by value and volume
JP Morgan emerged as the top financial adviser for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by both value and volume in the construction sector for H1 2021, having advised on 21 deals worth $92.7bn.
GlobalData lead analyst Ravi Tokala said: “JP Morgan and Rothschild & Co were the only two firms that managed to advise on more than 20 deals. Despite having advised on 21 deals, Rothschild & Co lagged behind JP Morgan in terms of deal volume due to its involvement in relatively low-value deals. Surprisingly, it also did not feature among the top five advisors by value.
“Meanwhile, JP Morgan was the only adviser to surpass $90bn. JP Morgan managed to advise on thirteen billion-dollar deals (valued more than or equal to $1bn) that also included two deals valued more than $36bn and $16bn each, which helped it take the top position. Further, Rothschild & Co advised on six deals valued more than $1bn.”
Goldman Sachs occupied the second position in terms of value with 18 deals worth $76.5bn, followed by Deutsche Bank with five deals worth $40.5bn, UBS with four deals worth $37.8bn and Bank of America with seven deals worth $24.7bn.
Rothschild & Co occupied the second position in terms of volume with 21 deals worth $19.8bn, followed by Goldman Sachs with 18 deals worth $76.5bn, KPMG with 14 deals worth $3.3bn and Lazard with 13 deals worth $24.1bn.
GlobalData’s league tables are based on the real-time tracking of thousands of company websites, advisory firm websites and other reliable sources available on the secondary domain. A dedicated team of analysts monitors all these sources to gather in-depth details for each deal, including adviser names.
To ensure further robustness to the data, the company also seeks submissions from leading advisers, through adviser submission forms on GlobalData’s website.
