Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, said: “Rothschild & Co was the top adviser by volume in Q1 2023 and retained its position in Q1 2024, despite experiencing a decline in the total number of deals it advised on.
“Meanwhile, UBS registered a significant jump in the total value of deals it advised on in Q1 2024, compared to Q1 2023, due to its involvement in big-ticket deals, including six billion-dollar deals. Resultantly, its ranking by value also improved significantly from sixth in Q1 2023 to the top position in Q1 2024.”
GlobalData’s deals database also reveals that Evercore rose from twenty eighth in Q1 2023 to second in Europe for Q1 2024 based on the value of its deals, $21.3 billion, followed by Morgan Stanley in third with $21.1 billion, JP Morgan with $13.5 billion, and Goldman Sachs with $12.9 billion.
