Throughout the last year, FOCUS successfully closed 22 deals spanning diverse industries, highlighting its versatility and expertise in navigating various sectors. This rate of success and the variety of industries served were key factors in our firm’s selection by Axial.
To assemble this list, Axial reviewed the deal-making activities of 378 investment banks and advisory firms that met the qualifications to be considered for league tables last quarter. In Q1 of this year, the sell-side membership marketed 2,534 deals on the Axial platform, which is an increase over the past two quarters, but still an 8.6% decrease compared to the same period last year.
“We are incredibly proud to continue to be recognized as a top lower middle market investment bank,” commented Amanda Damato, FOCUS Marketing Manager. “We’ve always had success using the Axial platform for deal marketing and this honor is a testament to our team’s expertise and commitment to providing superior service to our clients.”
