Canadian PE deal-making YTD robust at home and abroad
Canadian buyout and related private equity deal-making was robust in the first three quarters of the year, despite a slower Q3 2015, according to final data released by Thomson Reuters. Disclosed deal values hit $16.1 billion at the end of September, a result that exceeds full-year totals of six of the past seven years. In all, 306 deals were done in this period, on pace with the same time in 2014. Canadian private equity investors have also been increasingly active in international deals of late. To date this year, they have led or participated in 113 foreign deals with a total value of $125 billion. Fundraising in the domestic market collected $6.8 billion in the first nine months of 2015, which is down year over year.
