Top Advisers by Value and Volume

TD Securities was the top M&A financial adviser in the metals & mining sector for Q1 2021 by volume, while Goldman Sachs and Perella Weinberg Partners jointly held the top position by value.

Both Goldman Sachs and Perella Weinberg Partners advised on one deal each worth $1.7bn, which was the highest value among all the advisers.

Meanwhile, TD Securities led in volume terms having advised on three deals worth $1.2bn.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Goldman Sachs, Perella Weinberg Partners and TD Securities were the only three advisors to cross the $1bn mark in total value. While Goldman Sachs and Perella Weinberg Partners managed to advise on billion-dollar deal and went ahead to lead by value, TD Securities, though not able to advise on any billion-dollar deal, managed to occupy the next position by value apart from leading by volume.”
