UBS tops the rankings for mid-market M&A

UBS has shot ahead of the competition in the global rankings for mid-market mergers and acquisitions. According to figures from data provider Thomson Financial, the firm was top global advisor on transactions valued up to US$200m and US$500m.

The mid-market is a growing sector for M&A, where so far this year the volume of deals with a rank value up to US$500m has reached US$367.8bn, representing an increase of 9.8% compared to the same period last year. Much of this mid-market M&A growth was driven by transaction volumes in the US, where UBS emerged as the market leader for deals up to US$100m, US$200m and US$500m, with US$9.9bn in aggregate value from 52 deals that were valued up to US$50m.
