Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Rothschild & Co was the top adviser by value as well as volume in 2022 but managed to retain its leadership in terms of volume only in 2023. It registered massive fall in total value of deals advised and had to settle for the sixth position by value in 2023. In fact, most of the advisers reported decline in disclosed deal value in 2023 compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, Lazard, apart from leading the chart by value, also occupied the second position by volume during 2023.”
Lazard occupied the second position in terms of volume with three deals, followed by Stifel/KBW with three deals, Houlihan Lokey with three deals and Lincoln International with three deals.
Meanwhile, Perella Weinberg Partners occupied the second position in terms of value, by advising on $3.9 billion worth of deals while Bank of America, BNP Paribas and Citi jointly occupied the third position with each of them advising on $3.9 billion worth of deals.
