The World's Biggest PE Acquirers Are.....
I attended the Bloomberg Dealmakers Summit this week and found some interesting data. The top five biggest private equity acquirers, by value of deals, over the past five years were KKR, the Blackstone Group, TPG, Carlyle and Bain Capital. KKR posted 67 deals valued at $233.3 billion to come in first on the list, Bloomberg said. The data ranked firms by the total value of deals announced from Sept. 15, 2005 to Sept. 15, 2010. Blackstone placed second with 117 deals totaling $197.4 billion, while TPG ranked third with 78 transactions valued at $193.1 billion.
