Rothschild & Co has emerged as the leading mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial adviser in the Middle East & Africa market for the first three quarters of 2024, both in terms of deal value and volume, according to the latest financial advisers league table by GlobalData.
According to GlobalData’s Deals Database analysis, Rothschild & Co secured the top spot by advising on eight deals valued at $4.2bn.
HSBC claimed the second position in the value ranking, having advised on deals amounting to $2.3bn.
Fort Capital Investment took the third place with $1.6bn in advised deals. Citi and KPMG shared the fourth rank, with each advising on deals worth $1.4bn.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Rothschild & Co was also the top adviser by volume during Q1-Q3 2023 and retained its leadership position by this metric during Q1-Q3 2024 as well.
“Meanwhile, its ranking by value improved significantly, as there was a more than three-fold increase in the total value of deals advised by it during Q1-Q3 2024 compared to Q1-Q3 2023. As a result, Rothschild & Co went ahead from occupying the ninth position by value during Q1-Q3 2023 to top the chart by this metric during Q1-Q3 2024.”
In terms of deal volume, HSBC took the second spot with seven deals, matched by Rand Merchant Bank and Deloitte, each with seven transactions.
Clairfield International and PwC was close behind, with each participating in six deals.
GlobalData’s league tables are based on the real-time tracking of thousands of company websites, advisory company websites and other reliable sources available in 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 of the data, the company also seeks deal submissions from leading advisers.
