The surge in October was partly driven by business owners rushing to sell before the anticipated increase in capital gains tax rates being announced in the Autumn Budget. There was more activity in investment management and continuing consolidation in wealth management, as well as cross-border consolidation in securities exchange platforms, involving strategic acquirers and consolidators.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Investment sector M&amp;A market update<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were eight deals recorded in the month of November, bringing the year-to-date (YTD) total to 65 transactions estimated to be worth over \u00a35m each. Whilst significantly below the extraordinarily busy October, which saw 17 transactions, it still counted higher than the YTD monthly average of six deals (and higher than last year\u2019s average of 7.7 deals per month). Half of the deals were acquisitions of asset management and trading platform firms. The other half was accounted for by smaller wealth management businesses being acquired by larger peers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"492\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/total-announced-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5472\" style=\"width:706px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/total-announced-1.jpg 492w, https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/total-announced-1-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Five of the deals have an estimated value between \u00a35m and \u00a325m, two deals between \u00a325m and \u00a3100m, and one deal exceeding \u00a3100m, including the \u00a3207m public offer for Aquis Exchange by SIX Group, the main stock exchange in Switzerland. This follows the broader trend of declining public ownership of companies in the sector which has seen public companies be taken off the market including, most recently, Hargreaves Lansdown, Mattioli Woods and STM Group. The shift reflects the growing interest from private equity funds and strategic acquirers in arguably under-valued opportunities for long-term value in the public market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/transaction-volume-by-deals.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5476\" style=\"width:685px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/transaction-volume-by-deals.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/transaction-volume-by-deals-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Having said that, half of the deal count this month was accounted for by public companies acquiring businesses, including Aviva-owned Succession Wealth and Pinnacle Investment Management (being listed in Australia). Additionally, there was a rise in the proportion of overseas buyers acquiring UK-based firms with the number YTD nearly tripling compared to last year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/types-of-buyers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5480\" style=\"width:665px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/types-of-buyers.jpg 483w, https:\/\/www.marshberry.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/types-of-buyers-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Notable transactions (November 2024):<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Evelyn Partners<\/strong> agreed to sell its professional services division, including tax, assurance and advisory services, for a reported \u00a3700m, to the private equity fund <strong>Apax<\/strong>.
