M&A Research: Global

In this latest edition of its PE digest, DealMarket looks at why the PE industry needs data standardisation, the upturn in the IPO and global M&A markets, and research from Preqin which shows the strength of PE confidence in Latin America.

This special report by Preqin provides a look at the representation of women in high-level roles within the private equity industry by a range of criteria, including by geography, strategy and firm size.

In this edition of its Private Equity Spotlight, Preqin looks at how investment in the BRIC nations has changed in recent years, whether IPLA guidelines have had an impact on PE fund terms and conditions, as well as all the latest industry news.

The latest edition of Preqin's quarterly private equity index is designed to help compare private equity performance with other asset classes and different private equity fund types, including buyout, venture capital and distressed private equity.

In its PE digest this week, DealMarket looks at family office and endowments plans, the results of a Preqin survey of over 100 limited partners which shows there is larger investor appetite for big buyout funds, and the exit of Charterhouse and CVC from Ista.
