M&A Activity is Robust

Mergers and acquisitions activity remains on a torrid pace. According to Thompson Financial, there were 3,085 deals worldwide, with a total value of $332.7 billion, from the beginning of 2007 to February 5. In 2006, global mergers rose to $3.8 trillion. In 2006, US private equity groups spent $414.6 billion last year on buyouts, more than triple the 2005 total.

Insight into the Due Diligence necessary to make acquisitions will be the subject of IncreMental Advantage's Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence Conference which will be held in San Francisco on April 17-18.
