M&A Market Update<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

November resulted in one of the most active months for investment sector mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2025, with nine deals above \u00a35m of value announced, bringing the year-to-date (YTD) total to 59.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the month, there were three deals in the actuarial, pensions administration and employee benefits consulting space, including Gallagher\u2019s acquisition of First Actuarial, Aptia\u2019s acquisition of Atkin Pensions and Howden\u2019s acquisition of Evelyn Partners\u2019 employee benefits division. Three deals involved quoted targets, two of which were for businesses focused on wealth management and stockbroking activities, including TEAM plc\u2019s merger with WH Ireland and PhillipCapital\u2019s acquisition of Walker Crips Group, and the third involved a private equity (PE) target with Amundi\u2019s stake in ICG. Another PE firm was also a target during November, with Coller Capital selling a minority stake to State Street Investment Management. The remaining two deals were for businesses operating in the financial advice space, including The Penny Group\u2019s acquisition of Harridge Financial Services and Craven Street Wealth\u2019s acquisition of Pharon Independent Financial Advisers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the deals in November were at the lower end of the market with deal values trending between \u00a35-25m. There were however two deals valued above \u00a3100m, bolstering the continued resilience at the higher end of the market throughout the second half of 2025. The YTD statistics suggest 2025 will result in the highest proportion of deals valued above \u00a3100m since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a mixed bag of acquirer types during November, with four overseas acquirers, three PE acquirers, one quoted acquirer and one privately-held acquirer. Notably, overseas acquirers have regained momentum in recent months, indicating continued confidence in UK market fundamentals and long-term growth prospects. PE remains the most dominant acquirer group during 2025, and with only December left, it is very unlikely this will change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
