NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2017
NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JPMorgan Securities LLC led the way in 2016 mergers and acquisitions deals. After two consecutive years of strong M&A activity, the question now is if that momentum will continue under the Trump administration, according to The Deal, a business unit of financial news and information provider of TheStreet, Inc., (NASDAQ:TST).
"Last year was a good one for M&A – not the blockbuster that 2015 was, but very solid overall, particularly in cross-border deals, where the U.S. remains a very appealing market for Chinese, European and Japanese buyers. It remains to be seen how the Trump administration's policies will affect that activity. There was also a lot of activity in software and semiconductors last year, and there remains considerable room for further consolidation in both sectors," said David Marcus from The Deal.
The Deal's exclusive ranking covers top investment banks, law firms, PR advisers, proxy solicitors and Delaware law firms that are engaged in mergers and acquisitions. Data collected captures advisers to target/seller and acquirer/bidder companies involving transactions announced between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2016.
