unquote" watch: Take our 60-second survey

Source: UK unquote | 23 Sep 2011

After a first half of the year in which the UK private equity market showed encouraging signs of recovery, momentum dissipated in the third quarter.

Unquote watch surveyThis year therefore looks likely to end up being labeled as another year of two halves. Deal activity has dropped in the past months and leverage is said to be once again difficult to come by - especially for deals at the top end of the value spectrum.

The last quarter of the year will define whether Q3 was a mere blip in deal activity or a telling sign of things to come. What are therefore the expectations of market participants in terms of dealflow for the next months? And what impact does the economic uncertainty have on private equity investments?

As in every quarter, unquote", in association with corporate finance boutique Corbett Keeling, is assessing the industry's disposition with its one-minute survey. Make sure you have your say by completing the survey HERE.

Results will be published on unquote.com next month.
