In 2021, Goldman Sachs Group was the leading financial advisor to merger and acquisition (M&A) deals worldwide and managed M&A deals worth 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Investment banking is one of Goldman Sachs' major business segments, and their revenues from this segment have increased by roughly 50 percent over the past decade. However, these revenues still pale in comparison to their institutional client services earnings.
Who are the world’s leading financial advisors?
In terms of M&A deal volumes, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley joined Goldman Sachs as the world’s leading financial advisors of 2021. Collectively, these three companies advised on more than 1,700 M&A deals worldwide.
How have M&A deal volumes varied over the years?
Between 2010 and 2021, the number of M&A deals worldwide fluctuated significantly. A decreasing trend can be observed between 2010 and 2013. Thereafter, deal numbers gradually increased, amounting to over 63,000 deals in 2021 – the highest figure recorded since 2010.
