In our H1 review, we are pleased to share our remarkable success in the first half of 2024, closing 120 transactions with a cumulative disclosed deal value exceeding US$5.4 billion. Despite an industry-wide sluggish start to the year, this performance has once again propelled Clairfield to the top of the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) league tables. Our H1 deals spanned various sectors, with particularly noteworthy transactions in the consumer and technology sectors. In the innovative business space, an area where Clairfield also excels, we closed many notable deals in energy, software, and technology. We have also solidified our leadership in the rapidly consolidating dental sector. Four such deals were closed this quarter in Poland alone, bringing Clairfield’s global total to 28 closed transactions in the dental sector. Clairfield expanded significantly in H1 through two major alliances. Our exclusive partnership with RMB - Rand Merchant Bank gives us unparalleled access to South Africa, Nigeria, and other Sub-Saharan countries. Our exclusive partnership with FIRST CAPITAL GROUP, Argentina’s leading corporate finance firm, strengthens our coverage of Latin America, where we are present with strong operations in Mexico and Brazil. These partnerships allow access to complex yet interesting geographies together with the expertise to navigate the terrain. “As we look ahead to the second half of 2024, we are optimistic about continuing our strong performance. Our recent partnerships, successful H1 deals, and a robust pipeline position us well across diverse sectors and geographies. The alliances with RMB and First Capital provide comprehensive solutions to clients in emerging markets and enhance our sector expertise, as we continue to build Africa, APAC, and LatAm as strategic hubs. We are confident that these partnerships will drive significant value for our clients and stakeholders in the upcoming months,” says Alexander Klemm, chair of Clairfield International.
