Two-peat! Fortman Cline Achieves Back-to-Back Wins, Named 2024 Best M&A Firm in Southeast Asia

Fortman Cline Capital Markets (FCCM) has been named the “Best M&A Boutique Firm in Southeast Asia” at the Global Brand Frontier Awards 2024 by Boston Brand Research & Media. This follows its recognition last year as the “Best M&A Advisory Team in Southeast Asia” by UK-based Capital Finance Awards. These consecutive wins highlight the firm’s ongoing success in providing top-tier financial advice to conglomerates and entrepreneurs across the region.

The Boston-based Global Brand Frontier Awards celebrate brands that have shown excellence, innovation, leadership, and dedication on a global scale. As a benchmark for international success, these awards spotlight companies that are setting new standards in their respective industries.

This year’s awards saw a competitive field of nominees, with Fortman Cline emerging as the standout in the M&A boutique category for Southeast Asia. Other prominent winners from the region include Krungthai Bank PLC, Alveo Land, and more, showcasing Southeast Asia’s thriving business landscape and commitment to excellence.

Fortman Cline’s back-to-back achievements underscore its unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional M&A solutions and driving transformative business strategies. In addition to last year’s Capital Finance Award, the firm was also recognized in past years as the “Most Innovative Financial Solutions Provider” at the International Finance Awards (2019) and Best M&A Firm in Southeast Asia by Capital Finance, UK (2019).

This latest recognition from the Global Brand Frontier Awards, along with its previous accolades, is a testament to Fortman Cline’s profound influence on the M&A landscape, particularly in the Philippines. The firm has consistently executed high-value transactions that have reshaped critical industries in the country.

FCCM’s deep understanding of the local market enables it to deliver tailored advisory services, facilitating transformative deals that have significantly contributed to the Philippines’ economic progress. As Southeast Asia continues to be a hotspot for investment and growth, the firm remains at the forefront of transformative deals that create value for their clients while contributing to the broader economic development of the region.

In 2023, Fortman Cline launched its Management Consulting arm, Fortman Cline Management Services (FCMS), to provide pre- and post-deal strategic advisory services. Fortman Cline’s role in fostering innovation, sustainability, and economic development affirms its standing as the go-to M&A advisory firm in Southeast Asia.

Fortman Cline is also playing a pivotal role in the consolidation of the logistics, healthcare, and retail sectors, where the integration of offline and online platforms is gaining momentum. The firm also has a strong pipeline of deals in renewable energy and data centers, with more cross-border transactions within the ASEAN region.
