Top advisers by value and volume

Goldman Sachs has emerged as the top financial adviser for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by both value and volume in the technology, media & telecom (TMT) sector for H1 2021. It advised on 79 deals worth $217.3bn.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Although Goldman Sachs experienced some close competition in terms of volume, the firm was way ahead in terms of deal value due to its involvement in several big-ticket deals. In fact, Goldman Sachs was the only financial adviser that managed to surpass the $200bn mark during H1 2021, thereby outpacing its peers by a great margin in value terms. The firm advised on 35 billion-dollar deals (valued more than or equal to $1bn), which also included four mega deals (valued more than or equal to $10bn).”

JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley took the second and third positions by both value as well as volume with 75 deals worth $160.4bn and 50 deals worth $115.5bn, respectively. Bank of America secured fourth spot in value with 44 deals worth $86bn, followed by Barclays with 35 deals valued at $70.4bn.
