Auctus was named among the Top 25 Investment Banks from Axial, a private deal network serving professionals who own, advise, and invest in North American lower middle market companies, including more than 3,500 advisory firms and 2,000 corporate and financial buyers.
The rankings are based on Axial’s League Table that use surface data on investment banks to reveal their selectivity, relative attractiveness of their client’s businesses, and their overall sell-side process efficacy. Together, the Top 25 Investment Banks are those who work with the most in-demand clients; balance breadth, selectivity, and accuracy in the buyers they engage; and generate the largest number of positive outcomes for their clients.
Axial’s Lower Middle Market Investment Banking League Tables aggregate and rank M&A advisors based on their quarterly deal activity. Three factors disproportionately drive league table ranking, including 1) Client quality [based on pursuits per deal], 2) Buy-side targeting [pursuit rate per deal] and 3) Deal outcome [down-funnel LOI and closure activity]. For detailed methodology, see the end of this feature.
