Investment banking league tables: Natixis ranked #4 in S1 2020

The Covid-19 crisis has a huge impact on the activity of investment banks in France, with a decline of more than 25% in number of transactions between the first half of 2019 and 2020 (source: CFNews). This decrease is particularly significant for LBOs, M&A and growth capital.

Amid this challenging environment, Natixis/Natixis Partners came out on top and ranked #4 with 30 recommended transactions in the first six months of the year, including the Orbis OPA and the TSG and Vivalto Vie LBOs.

According to the type of transactions, Natixis/Natixis Partners is ranked #8 in the M&A market with 6 transactions and #5 ex aequo in LBO and growth capital with 7 transactions. Clipperton, a subsidiary of Natixis specialized in tech M&A, is ranked #3 ex aequo in venture capital with 3 transactions.
