Generational Equity and the 2012 M&A Rankings
Loyal readers of this blog are probably aware that from time to time we like to brag a bit about our accomplishments. I assume that you do the same with your business as you hit significant milestones. We operate in a highly competitive and challenging industry. It isn’t easy to consistently find optimal buyers, but we continue to do it for our clients year after year.
So we were quite pleased to see the 2012 M&A rankings tables based on Thomson Reuters data released recently. Once again Generational Equity was one of the highest ranked M&A advisory firms in North America. Here is the body of the press release that announced the rankings:
DALLAS, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Generational Equity – a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately-held, middle-market businesses – is pleased to announce that once again it is one of the top ranked M&A advisory firms for deals valued below $50 and $100 million, respectively.
Rankings are compiled annually based on deals submitted to Thomson Reuters. The 2012 rankings can be seen by clicking on the following link: Thomson Reuters 2012 Middle-Market Rankings.
In addition to ranking in the top 10 in two categories, for the seventh year in a row the company is ranked No. 1 in deals closed with disclosed values below $10 and $25 million.
"Our ability to repeatedly rank as one of the leading M&A advisory firms servicing privately held companies in North America is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire deal team," stated Dwight Jacobs, Executive Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions for the firm. "I am quite pleased with our team's work in 2012 given all the uncertainty facing both buyers and sellers last year."
According to Ryan Binkley, President of Generational Equity, "Being ranked as we are is really an honor but what pleases me the most is that we are helping owners of privately held companies monetize their largest asset, diversify their holdings, and reach their individual dreams."
Tom Farrell, Executive Vice President for the firm added, "With the momentum we gained at the end of 2012, we are looking forward to 2013 being another record year for our company. It will take quite a bit of hard work, but I am confident that we have assembled the finest deal making team in the industry."

Being ranked consistently as a leader in the middle market doesn’t happen because of luck. It is the hard work and dedication of all our associates that make it happen. Our 200+ team is comprised of folks with substantial experience in selling privately held companies. In fact, based on our success over the years, I would agree with Mr. Farrell in the press release – we do have the finest team assembled in our niche of deal making!
