BMO Capital Markets, which topped the metals and mining deals league table, did not appear in the GlobalData’s global league table of top 20 M&A financial advisers for Q1 2020.
GlobalData financial deals analyst Aurojyoti Bose says: “The metals and mining sector witnessed drastic decline in deal value in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019. Under this environment, BMO Capital Markets was the only player to cross the $1bn mark. On the other hand, the total value of deals advised by three of the top ten firms by volume was even less than $100m.”
