unquote" Private Equity Barometer - Q3 2012
Private equity dealflow has remained subdued over the three months to September, with the number of transactions completed plummeting 35% to 182 deals while the aggregated value dipped 14% to €11.7bn.
For the second quarter in a row the European buyout deal total stuck to double figures in Q3 2012 with 76 deals completed, down 15% from Q2's total of 89 transactions. Deal value fared rather better, recording a modest fall of just 4% over the three months from €11.2bn to €10.8bn. This value resilience was driven by a significant increase in the €100m-€1bn mid-market segment, where activity rose from 22 to 27 deals and hit the highest level in more than a year.
