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

The volume of investment sector merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions above \u00a35m of value doubled in May to six, returning activity to levels seen in March. Three of the deals during May were for targets operating within the wealth management and financial planning space. Two of these deals involved mergers of private equity-backed (PE) consolidators, with Mattioli Woods merging with Kingswood and Fidelius merging with Timothy James & Partners. There were also two deals during the month for fund managers, with Royal London acquiring Dalmore Capital and Dai-Ichi Life taking a 15% stake in M&G. The other deal this month was Broadstone\u2019s acquisition of Railpen\u2019s third-party administration business. <\/p>\n\n\n

There were four smaller deals during May with values between \u00a35-25m, one between \u00a325-100m and one above \u00a3100m. Despite there being more deals at the lower end of the market in May, the year-to-date (YTD) trend still shows more activity at above \u00a325m of deal value when compared with recent years. In fact, two of the deals in the \u00a35-25m range involved targets that were already subject to an investment by the acquirer\u2019s PE backer, with their enterprise values being comfortably above \u00a325m. This continues the trend towards deals above \u00a325m of value comprising an increasing proportion of the total count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PE remained the most prolific acquirer group during May, with four of the acquirers having PE-backing. In the YTD figures, 78% of acquirers were linked to PE, either as direct investors or via their portfolio companies. One of the deals during the month involved an overseas group, the first deal concerning an overseas acquirer so far in 2025. In 2024 overseas acquirers increased their share of the total deal count significantly. Although it is still too early to tell the outcome for 2025, the current YTD statistics suggest this trend may have slowed. <\/p>\n\n\n
