0 Comments

 
Skyline Advisors has released its latest Capital Markets Review: Midwest Edition for the third quarter of 2019. The report details activity and trends for mergers and acquisitions, private equity deals, and venture capital deals for both national and Midwest geographies. Key highlights include:
  • National M&A: Though total US M&A deal count declined 18% from Q2, the total value of deals increased 37% in the third quarter, reaching a value of $340 billion
  • Midwest M&A: Total Midwest M&A value topped $25 billion through the third quarter, led by Mutual of Omaha Bank’s $1-billion sale to CIT Group
  • Private Equity: Amid economic uncertainty, PE investors deployed less capital across fewer deals in the third quarter: both nationally and in the Midwest
  • PE Fundraising: Fundraising among private equity funds nearly topped all of 2018, with $191 billion raised year to date through Q3 compared to $196 billion in all of 2018
  • Venture Capital: Midwest venture capitalists deployed the most capital ($263 million) in a quarter since last year and across the most investments (51 deals) in a quarter in more than three years
The 14-page report also contains economic data and public market data of interest to owners and managers of middle market businesses. Access a complimentary copy of the full report here.
