UBS has emerged the top mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financial adviser in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region during the first quarter (Q1) of 2023 in terms of both value and volume, according to the latest financial advisers league table by GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
An analysis of GlobalData’s Financial Deals Database reveals that UBS achieved the leading position by advising on nine deals worth $16.1 billion.
