Canadian private equity goes big in 2017 as top deals draw $22 bln
For Canada’s private equity market, 2017 was the most active year in a decade. While the vast majority of deals were mid-market in nature, the headlines focused on a handful of large-caps. They included last year’s proposed buy of Husky IMS International by Platinum Equity and the completed buy of DH Corp by Vista Equity Partners, the two biggest Canadian PE deals since 2014. They helped Canada’s top 10 private-equity deals in 2017 together account for disclosed values of more than $22 billion. That's up 88 percent from the $11.7 billion captured by the top 10 deals in 2016.
