Sinopse

M&A took a massive hit in 2020, with the majority of transactions put on hold in the February-March 2020 period in response to COVID. However, the economy rebounded stronger and faster than anticipated with some very clear trends carrying through to 2021. We saw the industrial sector a popular investment, with nearly 35% of deals coming from the sector. Niche manufacturing was particularly popular with foreign buyers. But the sector to watch is technology and technology enabled businesses which are set to dominate the 2021 public and private markets.
