Despite a slow start to the year and still a lot of financial and political uncertainty, our Private Equity team have been hard at work and have completed a number of deals in a variety of sectors!

With good volumes on add-on acquisitions and portfolio work, Vista has been kept very busy. More thorough diligence and more stringent criteria for making investments has seen the trend for more deals to pause or fall over, but nonetheless of the 48 opportunities shared with Vista over the last six months, 14 remain actively in process or have just completed in July, including some very large opportunities – watch out for our year end deals round-up!

10 failed to complete but 24 have been successfully concluded.
These included:

• 5 International Deals
• 3 Carve-Outs/MBO’s
• 9 Portfolio Additional Investments
  A change to the previous years has been more manufacturing businesses being acquired, particularly in the aerospace engineering sector, and more contracting infrastructure and business services
  companies.
