Welcome to the fifth edition of our Buy & Build Monitor which now covers a ten year period of activity back to 1998. The past year has seen another record amount of Buy and Builds being undertaken by private equity firms and their portfolio companies. There has also been a continuation of the trend to complete follow-on acquisitions within a very short timescale after the initial platform deal.
The M&A market clearly saw something of a boom in the first half of last year, followed by a marked slowdown post the credit crunch. Buy and Build volumes undoubtedly follow this macro trend, but as we enter more turbulent times we believe that a greater focus on creation of value within portfolio companies will mean that consolidation strategies will continue to be pursued.
