ABG Sundal Collier has acquired FIH Partners for an undisclosed amount, in a significant corporate transaction that sees the Nordic financial services firm expand its advisory capabilities. FIH Partners is a leading independent financial and strategic advisory firm, established in 2006, specializing in global buy- and sell-side advisory, IPOs, public defense and takeovers, and debt advisory. The firm has built an unparalleled track record in the Danish market, having announced over 200 transactions with a combined value exceeding EUR 100 billion, and is recognized as Denmark’s leading M&A advisor.
This acquisition is strategically aimed at strengthening ABG Sundal Collier's investment banking footprint, particularly in the M&A sector and the Danish market. FIH Partners brings deep industry expertise across sectors such as energy and infrastructure, renewables, life sciences, and technology. This specialized knowledge complements ABG Sundal Collier’s existing offerings and market presence, allowing for an immediate expansion of its advisory services and client reach. The move clearly signifies ABG Sundal Collier's intent to enhance its corporate advisory segment through direct acquisition, rather than through capital raises.
The integration of FIH Partners is expected to generate substantial synergies. By combining FIH Partners' bespoke advisory services and client relationships with ABG Sundal Collier’s broader platform, the combined entity will be better positioned to serve a wider range of private and public companies, private equity funds, and family offices. The collective M&A experience and proven track record of FIH Partners' partners will add considerable value and strengthen the expertise available to clients across the Nordic region and globally.
The combined entity is poised to offer an enhanced suite of financial and strategic advisory services. This integration is anticipated to reinforce its competitive standing as a preferred advisor, further cementing its position in the evolving Nordic financial advisory landscape and beyond.
