Top H1 Canadian private equity deals fetch $13.4 bln
Canada’s top 10 first-half private equity deals had disclosed values of more than $13.4 billion, up 89 percent from the $7.1 billion invested in the top 10 deals at the same time in 2016. The number is based on PE Hub Canada’s list of the largest deals announced in January through June, supplemented by preliminary Thomson Reuters data. It suggests the domestic market may be poised in 2017 to end a three-year decline in investment activity. H1 2017’s top deals are led by Vista Equity Partners’ $4.8 billion acquisition of DH Corp, the largest Canadian PE deal in three years.
