Goldman Sachs advised on $10.7bn worth of deals while PwC was the adviser for a total of eight deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Goldman Sachs was the clear winner by value as it was the only adviser that managed to surpass the $10bn mark during Q1 2023. It also occupied the ninth position by volume.

“Meanwhile, PwC, despite topping the chart by volume, did not feature among the top ten by value due to its involvement in low-value deals. The average size of deals advised by PwC in Q1 2023 was $25.2m, which is much lesser compared to Goldman Sachs’ average deal size of $3.6bn.”
