This year\u2019s report leverages proprietary data to examine all announced transactions valued at \u00a35 million or more, with a particular focus on the evolving structure of the wealth management market\u2014an area that continues to present strong M&amp;A opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report highlights yet another year of high deal activity, though with greater quarterly fluctuations than in recent years. These variations reflect shifting buyer and seller behaviors, as acquirers and investors adopt a more selective approach due to increasing regulatory pressures from Consumer Duty and higher capital costs. Many firms opted to further scale their businesses before pursuing transactions, while others have faced intensified due diligence scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these headwinds, overseas buyers\u2014particularly from North America\u2014remained active in the UK market. Private equity (PE) played a slightly less dominant role compared to prior years, though PE-backed portfolio companies continued to drive deal flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the industry moves into 2025, market confidence remains strong, with continued opportunities for growth and value creation,\u201d said Fred Hansson, Managing Director. \u201cWith deep industry expertise, global reach, and a track record of successfully guiding firms through complex transactions, MarshBerry stands ready to help firms navigate the evolving M&amp;A landscape and capitalize on emerging opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, MarshBerry advised on 173 global transactions, more than any other advisory firm. With a presence in the U.S., UK, and Europe, MarshBerry continues to provide unparalleled market intelligence and deal execution expertise, helping firms capitalize on both domestic and global opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.MarshBerry.com\/EU\/Insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MarshBerry.com\/EU\/Insights\/<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions on how MarshBerry helps insurance broking firms create a path forward, in the U.S. or across Europe, or would like to discuss report findings further, please contact us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MarshBerry \u2013 Helping Clients Learn, Improve &amp; Realize Value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MarshBerry is a global leader in Merger &amp; Acquisition (M&amp;A) advisory services, corporate finance solutions, and strategic consulting for insurance brokerages and firms in the wealth management industry.
