Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Linklaters are among the City firms that bagged advisory roles on a landmark £5.4bn deal to take Hargreaves Lansdown private.

The deal, which was inked on 9 August, will see the fund supermarket snapped up by buyout giants CVC, Nordic Capital and Platinum Ivy, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and delist after nearly two decades on the London Stock Exchange.
