Global Equity Markets Witness Strong Underwriting Activity In Q1

Goldman Sachs retained the top spot in terms of market share by deal size - a position it has maintained in eight of the last eleven quarters. The bank topped the list of book-runners in Asia and Australia to achieve a market share of just under 10% for Q1. Goldman also has a substantially larger average deal size than any of its competitors - indicating that the bank played a role in most of the largest equity underwriting deals over the quarter.
