M&A Digest – Feb. 15, 2013

February 15, 2013 By Editor

Today’s M&A Digest features how cash rich strategics will play into 2013 M&A activity and the steps business owners can take to sell a company.

Cash Rich Strategics and 2013 M&A Activity

“A few days ago we examined the fact that private equity firms are sitting on nearly $350 billion in dry powder (committed capital) and that nearly $100 billion of it needs to be invested in the next 12 months or it will have to be returned to investors. I recently came across another source that not only looked at dry powder but also cash rich strategics.

The following chart from PwC’s Year End M&A Outlook for 2013 indicates that worldwide all private equity funds have more than a trillion in committed capital, while cash rich strategics are sitting on close to $2 trillion.”
