November 30, 2022

The global mergers and acquisition market has remained resilient through a period of great economic uncertainty brought on by a combination of surging inflation, rising interest rates, tightening capital markets, and geopolitical tensions. The total value of lower middle market deals announced in Q3 amounted to $81.3 billion – 0.8% above Q2-22.
