│ Editor's Note Welcome to the 15th issue of the EMEA Private Equity Market Snapshot, a quarterly publication focusing on the private equity [PE] market in Europe, the Middle East & Africa [EMEA] from S&P Global Market Intelligence. This issue opens with a look at EMEA's position in the global private equity landscape as the region continues to ride a favourable trend as a destination for new investments -highlighted by a particularly strong performance from the UK, who accounted for 31% of the region's investments in 2017. We then explore EMEA GPs who, from the start of July to the end of August, have deployed 87% more capital compared to the same period in 2016. They underscored this feat by signing the largest single deal since 2015 -United Capital Partners and others' acquisition of Essar Oil Ltd for €11.4bn. Looking at sub-regional preference globally, like their peers, EMEA PE firms were most interested in investing in the UK. The Information Technology sector has increasingly attracted attention from global PE firms over the last decade. The total capital deployed into IT targets grew by 63%, from €72.6bn in 2007 to €119.3bn during the study period. APAC-based targets have drawn greater interest from global GPs with China continuing to feature more prominently since 2012 (having also featured twice in the top five deals globally in 2016). Finally, we turn our attention to institutional investors, who are continuing to add value to the private equity sector. EMEA was the only region in 2016 with decreasing PE allocations -investors tightened their spend in the region due to economic, social and political uncertainties. The UK's decision to leave the EU seems to have further dented institutional investors' confidence. At the heart of our analysis is the S&P Capital IQ platform, an offering of S&P Global Market Intelligence. The platform incorporates a database capturing more than 3.1 million historical transactions, including deal values and transaction multiples, target company fundamental data, sector-level financials and comprehensive private equity manager and fund information. We look forward to receiving feedback and suggestions on regions or sectors of interest for future analysis.
