Calder Capital is excited to announce that it has been ranked as the #5 Most Active M&A Advisor in the Great Lakes region in PitchBook’s 2025 Annual Global League Tables.
PitchBook’s league tables are widely regarded as one of the most respected benchmarks in the M&A industry, ranking firms based on transaction activity across global markets. Calder Capital’s placement reflects another year of strong deal volume and continued growth across its core markets.
Notably, Calder Capital appears alongside some of the most recognized institutions in global finance, including firms such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Houlihan Lokey, and Baird.
“This recognition is incredibly meaningful given the company we’re in,” said Max Friar, Founder and Managing Partner of Calder Capital. “When I started Calder in 2013, we were a small firm focused on building a process-driven, client-first approach to M&A. To now be ranked alongside some of the most established investment banks in the world is a direct reflection of our team’s consistency, work ethic, and commitment to our clients.”
Calder Capital’s growth has been driven by its disciplined execution in lower middle market transactions, a focus on creating competitive processes for sellers, and a proactive buy-side approach that uncovers off-market opportunities for clients.
“This achievement is the result of a very talented team, business owners who trusted us with major decisions, and referral partners who continue to support our firm,” Friar added. “We remain focused on delivering results and continuing to build on this momentum.”
