DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nc9fk3/private_placement) has announced the addition of the "Private Placement in the Global Financial Services Industry" report to their offering.
Financial performance across all industries declined due to the aftermath of the financial crisis. Even as economic activity has improved in North America, many economies in Europe and Asia-Pacific are experiencing sluggish growth. However, the availability of cheap sources of debt has made companies cash-rich, and they are continuously scouting for inorganic growth opportunities to cope with the performance expectations of investors in a challenging growth environment. While this may trigger merger activity and provide exit opportunities for already-invested PE firms, corporate buyers may outpace PE investors in deal making as they are generally ready to offer a takeover premium if the perceived synergy from an acquisition is high.
Investments in middle-market and small financial companies have been a central theme for PE investors. However, the declining performance of large companies, along with regulatory and political changes, has opened avenues for PE investors to increasingly invest in large companies across different sectors.
PE funds are also investing in spin-offs of large companies that are restructuring their businesses to drive operating efficiency, increase profitability, and ensure regulatory compliance.
New registration requirements, taxation issues, and increased scrutiny from the public and regulators have resulted in the deteriorating performance of the PE industry.
