Deal values reached their second highest level in recorded history, failing to reach the colossal first half of 2007 which surpassed the $200 billion mark. Despite this, values were up 113% year-over-year. This strong showing was largely thanks to a handful of mega-deals. Heading the top deals list for the half was the sale of a 55% stake in Thomson Reuters’ Financial & Risk business, Refinitiv, to a consortium led by Blackstone Group in a deal valued at $17.0 billion. Other investment partners involved in the deal included Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC. Other top deals during the half were the announced $9.9 billion acquisition of Envision Healthcare by KKR, as well as the takeover of Chicago-based U.S. mall owner GGP for a cash consideration of $9.3 billion by Brookfield Asset Management. U.S. Market Trends by Region New York-based companies were involved in deals valued at $30.1 billion during the first six months of the year, more than quadruple the figure from the same period last year. The aforementioned Refinitiv deal along with Blackstone’s $7.6 billion acquisition of real estate investment trust company, Gramercy Property Trust, were responsible for more than 80% of this total. U.S. Investor Activity in Global Markets United States buyout and related PE funds participated in 153 non-U.S. deals during H1 collectively valued at $66.1 billion. While this reflected an decrease in deal volumes of 24% from the same period a year earlier, recorded deal values were more than double what they had been in the first half of 2017. Top foreign deals for the half include the involvement of Bain Capital and Dell Technologies Capital in the $17.8 billion sale of Toshiba’s memory business, along with The Carlyle Group’s involvement in the acquisition of AkzoNobel’s Specialty Chemicals division for $12.6 billion. U.S. Fund Performance The performance of U.S. buyout funds continued to show over-performance to public market comparators through to the end of the first quarter of 2018. Published data provided by Cambridge Associates shows US buyout funds returning a since inception IRR of 13.1% as of the end of Q1. By comparison, the public markets have shown a return of 8.9%.
