  • Investment Banks Or Boutiques: Why Are They Chosen and What Firm Type Makes the Better M&A Deals?
    Investment banks or boutiques: Why are they chosen and what firm type makes the better M&A deals? An empirical investigation regarding domestic M&A deals in the USA Master Thesis Author: S.R. Faber ANR (SNR): 215677 (1275258) Program: Master of Finance Supervisor: dr. C.A.R. Schneider University: University of Tilburg, Netherlands Abstract Between 2000 and 2015 there has been an increase in the M&A advisory business for boutiques advisors. The main difference between boutique advisors and full-service investment banks is that boutique advisors generally have knowledge in a specific sector or have a specialization on M&A, whereas full-service investment banks often cover a wide variety of services. This thesis investigates whether the findings found by Song et al. (2013) are still valid using another dataset. Song et al. (2013) investigated the firms’ choice for a boutique- or full-service advisor and what consequences it has for the deal outcome. It was found that boutique advisors (mixed advisory teams) have a higher probability of getting hired, when the deal size is small (high). In addition to this, boutique advisors generate higher deal premiums on both the target and acquirer side of the deal. No statistical evidence is found to draw conclusions regarding the influence of advisors on deal duration and deal completion. Overall, no significant statement can be made regarding the performance of boutique advisors when they are compared to full-service advisors. Master Thesis – B a s F a b e r – MSc. Finance (2016 - 2017) | 2 1. Introduction Over the last years there has been an increase in mergers and acquisitions (hereafter: M&A) deals, both domestic and international.
