Nowhere are bragging rights more hotly contested than on Wall Street. And for the first six months of 2023 Goldman Sachs kept the crown as the top M&A advisor globally, according to new data from both Dealogic and Refinitiv.
Goldman worked on 145 deals valued at $321.3 billion during the first six months of this year, Dealogic said. In second place was JPMorgan with $309.9 billion in transactions, while BofA Securities jumped up a spot to third place with $228.7 billion in deals. Refinitiv data had Goldman in first with $305.6 billion worth of deals, while JPMorgan placed second with $301.5 billion, and Morgan Stanley ranked third with $193 billion in mergers. BofA was fourth with $192.8 billion in transactions, said Refinitiv, an LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) business.
