Top advisers by value and volume

According to GlobalData’s ‘Global and Metals & Mining M&A Report Financial Adviser League Tables Q1-Q3 2022’Bank of America and BMO Capital Markets emerged as the top M&A financial advisers in the metals & mining sector for Q1-Q3 2022 by value and volume, respectively.

Bank of America advised on $7.8bn worth of deals while BMO Capital Markets advised on a total of eight deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “BMO Capital Markets has suffered a huge setback compared to Q1-Q3 2021 when it occupied the top spot by both volume and value. The company may have still clung to first place by deal volume, despite having registered a 33.3% decline, but it had to settle for fifth place by value. Meanwhile, Bank of America’s position in terms of value has jumped from fifth position in Q1-Q3 2021 to the top position in Q1-Q3 2022.”

According to the financial deals database of GlobalData, the other high rankers by value included Canaccord Genuity Group took the second position with $7.2bn worth of deals; followed by Stifel/KBW with $7bn; Bank of Nova Scotia with $6.9bn; and BMO Capital Markets with $4.7bn.
