Morgan Stanley ranked first in the South Korea's M&A financial advisor league table in 2021 after fierce competition with runner-up Bank of America Merrill Lynch.Top 10 investment banks of the league table compiled by the bell advised on South Korean deals totaling 83.2 trillion won ($69.5 billion) in 2021. Of the total, Morgan Stanley advised on 11 deals worth 14.2 trillion won.
BoA Merrill Lynch took second spot with deals worth 10.9 trillion won. It jumped to rank second at the last minute thanks to the first closing of SK Hynix’s acquisition of Intel’s NAND memory chip business, which was completed on December 30.
