By GlobalDataTop advisers by value and volume
BMO Capital Markets was the top mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial adviser in the global mining sector for 2020 by value. It advised on 13 deals worth $4.8bn. Canaccord Genuity Group emerged as the top M&A financial advisor in terms of volume, having advised on 14 deals worth $2.9bn.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “BMO Capital Markets and Canaccord Genuity Group were the only two firms that managed to see double-digit deal volume during Covid-19-hit 2020. BMO Capital Markets occupied the second position by volume, but, surprisingly, Canaccord Genuity Group failed to find a place in the list of top ten advisors by value due to its involvement in largely low-value transactions.
“While the average deal size for BMO Capital Markets stood at $367.2m, it was much lesser and stood at $2019.1m for Canaccord Genuity Group, despite the latter advising on relatively more number of deals.”
The Bank of Nova Scotia took the second position in GlobalData’s ranking of financial advisers for M&As in the global mining sector by value with nine deals worth $4.7bn. It was followed by Macquarie and Sternship Advisers with three deals each worth $4.3bn and $4.2bn, respectively.
The Bank of Nova Scotia finished at third position by volume. It was followed by RBC Capital Markets with nine deals worth $2.2bn.
