JP Morgan and UBS have established themselves as the leading financial advisers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2024.
JP Morgan has advised on deals worth $17 billion, securing the top position in deal value. Moelis & Company, TD Securities, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial followed closely behind in deal value.
UBS has facilitated 30 transactions, leading in deal volume. Moelis & Company claimed the second spot in terms of deal volume.
Ernst & Young, BDA Partners, and Maybank Investment Bank shared the third position in terms of deal volume. These rankings highlight the competitive nature of the APAC M&A advisory market, where financial institutions are vying for dominance.
As the APAC region continues to evolve as a significant player in the global M&A market, the competition among financial advisers is expected to intensify. Firms must remain agile and responsive to market trends, leveraging technology and data analytics to enhance their advisory capabilities.
