M&A Capital Partners Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Satoru Nakamura; hereinafter "MACP") is pleased to announce that it has achieved a "triple crown" by securing the dominant No. 1 position in three categories of the "Japan M&A Review 2026 Q1 Financial Advisor" league tables published by LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group).
In this latest ranking, MACP took first place in "Any Japanese Involvement (Number of Deals)," "Japan Involvement Completed (Number of Deals)," and "Japan Involvement Announced (Number of Deals)." Furthermore, the company successfully entered the "Japan Involvement Completed (Rank Value Base)" rankings for the first time.
* Rank Value Base is a ranking based on the transaction value (deal size) of the cases handled.
* Targets cases announced or completed between January 1, 2026, and March 31, 2026.
From M&A Brokerage to a "World-Class Investment Bank"
Contributing to a "Strong Japanese Economy" through Business Succession and Growth
MACP's achievement of the top spot in three major categories, combined with its first ranking in the Rank Value category, demonstrates that the company is being recognized not just for the volume of deals—where it has held the top spot for three consecutive years—but also for the scale of the M&A transactions it supports.
In recent years, the environment surrounding Japanese companies has changed significantly. In addition to the rising need for business succession due to a lack of successors, M&A as a growth strategy is accelerating amid a challenging business environment characterized by geopolitical risks, rising prices, and labor shortages. MACP has provided support that contributes to the sustainable growth and value enhancement of companies in response to these needs. We believe that this accumulation of effort led to our high evaluation in the league tables.
Furthermore, our first ranking in the Rank Value category, which indicates the scale of transaction values in M&A, is a result of our strengthening capacity to handle larger deals. Through this, MACP is steadily expanding its functions as an investment bank, going beyond the traditional framework of an M&A brokerage firm.
Moving forward, we will continue to support the enhancement of corporate value from the perspectives of both "business succession" and "business growth," contributing to the sustainable development of the Japanese economy. We will also accelerate our M&A support for companies, aiming to become a "world-class investment bank."
