Canadian PE activity reaches $24 bln in 2017's first nine months
Deal-making in Canada's buyout and private equity market continued to grow at a strong pace in the third quarter of 2017, according to final data released by Thomson Reuters. Additionally, at the end of September, 261 deals took $23.8 billion in disclosed values, up 73 percent year over year, which is the highest nine-month level on record. Deal volumes increased at a more moderate 8 percent from the same time last year, pointing to the key influence of large-cap transactions. Canadian investors were active in 88 global deals in the first nine months of 2017, up 7 percent from the same time in 2016, though disclosed values for these fell 32 percent.
