Mania – that would be 2015’s Word of the Year in international corporate finance, if such a competition existed. Indeed, since the beginning of 2015, with a total value of $1.92 trillion – the highest in at least the past 20 years – over 70 mega deals have made international press headlines. Faced with the record high $4.7 trillion M&A deal value and an increase in the aggregate value of venture capital deals for the third successive year, the media were not short of adjectives like “historical” and “record-breaking”. They were not the only ones getting excited, with investors delighted and corporates full of confidence. However, this euphoria masks some worrisome signs, such as the disappointing performance of the IPO market (the worst since 2009), or the $481 billion in withdrawn deals in the first five months of 2016, according to Dealogic (yet another superlative as it was the highest level since the 2007 financial crisis). In 2016, the deal atmosphere has clearly changed. Market volatility, along with a troubling macro environment – from emerging markets to lower commodities prices to geopolitical risks such as the Brexit, the threat of terrorism and the election year cycle – is fueling a lot of uncertainty and putting a major dampener on deal-making. HR changes, increasing regulatory pressure and emerging technologies such as digital banking, Bitcoin and Blockchain continue to impact financial professionals, whether or not they are prepared. Lawyers have not been spared from this whirlwind, but for them there are advantages as well. Today nothing can stop the consolidation trend between law firms. Globalization of deals and clients, aggressive competition, the impact of the internet or the commoditization of certain kinds of work, the reasons are many but there is one common point – every firm want to be bigger, international and competitive. We’ve never seen so many big law firms in the world, expanding at such a fast rate, which gives us the same feelings of excitement as we have for the M&A market. What’s next? Well, “?” seems to us a great choice for Symbol of the Year 2016 (again, if such a competition existed). CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rapidly-evolving legal landscapes, financing models, technological progress and shifting mindsets are paving the way to a new world of M&A and Private Equity investment. 13 M&A 13 2015: An Unprecedented Year in the History of M&A 16 10 Largest Announced Deals of 2015 18 2016: A Year Full of Uncertainty 19 Private Equity 19 A Solid Year for PE/VC Market, a Cold Winter for Exits 20 Top 50 Private Equity Fund Managers 22 Influential Factors 22 Geostrategic Risks on the Rise 23 HR Changes in the Corporate Sector 25 Technological Impact 25 The Rise of Technology in the World of Finance 26 New Age Digital Players Enter the Banking Space 28 The Use of Blockchain in Banking and Beyond 29 The Changing Face of the Fund Servicing Industry 50 LEADERS Leaders League has identified fifty impactful leaders across the globe, whose ambitions and achievements are reshaping the world of corporate finance.
