JP Morgan and UBS were the top M&A financial advisers in the APAC region in Q1-Q3 2023, according to GlobalData’s ranking of leading M&A advisers.

JP Morgan topped the charts when measuring the value of deals, advising on $25.7bn worth of deals during the period, while UBS advised on the most transactions with a total of 25 deals.

“While most of the top 10 advisers by total number of deals reported a decline during Q1-Q3 2023 compared to Q1-Q3 2022, deals volume for UBS remained at the same level. In fact, it was the only adviser with more than 20 deals during Q1-Q3 2023,” said GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose.

“Meanwhile, JP Morgan was among the only two advisers to surpass $20bn in total deal value during Q1-Q3 2023. Interestingly, UBS was the other firm that occupied the second position with $23.4bn in total deal value.”
