In a recent report also published by Dealogic, the financial markets platform remarked the growing role of independent firms among global advisors, especially on transactions with a value over 1 billion dollars, leveraging on “their niche expertise, independent advice, fewer conflicts of interest, and greater discretion without cross-selling other products”. In that report, Alantra was #6 independent advisor globally.
