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

Whilst merger and acquisition (M&A) activity involving deals above \u00a35m slightly slowed in September, with only four transactions announced, the third quarter emerged as the most active quarter of the year thus far, resulting in 17 deals announced. However, this figure represents a slight decline compared to Q3 volumes recorded over the past three years (19 in Q3 2024, 23 in Q3 2023 and 19 in Q3 2022). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wealth management and financial planning continued to drive volumes in investment sector M&A, accounting for half of the transactions recorded in Q3. All four deals announced during September involved targets operating within the wealth management space, including Corient\u2019s acquisition of Stonehage Fleming and Stanhope Capital, Bixby\u2019s investment in James Hambro & Partners and Tavistock\u2019s acquisition of Lifetime Financial Management. The robust deal volumes in the wealth management sector underscore the continued investor interest and consolidation within the sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deal values varied in September, with one transaction exceeding \u00a3100m in value and three falling below. In fact, Q3 marked a record-breaking period for transactions over \u00a3100m, with eight deals being announced\u2014the highest quarterly total since Q1 2021. Notably, the year-to-date distribution of deal values closely mirrors those observed in 2021, a year with the highest aggregate transaction values for the past five years. This reflects strong interest shown by North American strategic acquirers and private equity (PE) in leading businesses in the UK investment sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private equity continues to be very active in Q3 <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PE was the most prolific acquirer group in the first half of this year, and Q3 2025 maintained the trend. Almost 65% of all deals announced during the quarter involved a direct or indirect PE-backed buyer, including overseas buyers with PE ownership. Of the four transactions announced in September, three involved overseas acquirers backed by PE, while the remaining deal was executed by a UK-listed company. The increased proportion of direct PE investments observed during H1 2025 continued during Q3 with the announcement of two new PE-backed advice consolidators. Meanwhile the number of privately owned buyers has decreased significantly in the face of fierce competition from buyers with better access to capital, including PE-backed businesses, both from the UK and overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
