Scotiabank leads in quarterly Canadian M&A as resources rebound - Reuters
Bank of Nova Scotia led investment banks in advising on mergers and acquisitions in Canada and finished second in equity issues in a first quarter that brought a rebound in overall activity in both categories after a weaker 2013, reports Reuters. Driven by brisker activity in the energy and mining sectors, the total value of M&A deals in the quarter rose by 20 percent to US$35.7 billion from the first quarter of 2013, according to data released by Thomson Reuters. Equity advisory totals rose 36 percent to US$7.52 billion.
