K3 Advisory Group climbs global rankings in latest LSEG Q1 2026 report
A standout start to 2026 sees K3 Advisory Group strengthen its position among the world’s leading mid-market M&A advisers.
Rising across every major region, the Group’s latest rankings reflect the scale, consistency and expertise that continue to set it apart.
K3 Advisory Group, of which KBS Corporate belongs to business sales division, recently rebranded from K3 Capital Group and has further cemented its market-leading position following the release of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Global M&A Mid-Market Financial Advisory rankings for Q1 2026.
The latest results highlight a clear upward trajectory across all key regions, reinforcing the Group’s consistent performance and growing international presence.
The Q1 2026 rankings underline another period of impressive performance:
- #1 in the UK, retaining the top position
- #1 in Europe, rising from 2nd place in 2025
- #3 globally, up from 4th place for the same period last year
In the first three months of 2026, the Group completed 68 deals, significantly ahead of our nearest UK competitor, who recorded just 19 qualifying transactions. This commanding lead reflects not only the volume of activity, but the strength, pace and precision of the Group’s deal execution.
Maintaining the No.1 position in the UK continues a long-standing track record of market leadership. The move to No.1 in Europe marks an important milestone in the Group’s continued expansion, while climbing to third globally places K3 Advisory Group firmly among a select group of advisers delivering consistent, high-volume success on the international stage.
The momentum seen in Q1 2026 sets a strong foundation for the year ahead. With a clear lead in the UK, a newly secured top spot in Europe and continued progression on the global stage, K3 Advisory Group is well-positioned to build on this success.
