M&A Review - secondary buy-outs on the rise04/12/2002. Source: Dealogic. 
 The mood in the global M&A market remains subdued as figures continue to reveal a decline in activity. With scant opportunity to exit their investments via trade sale, secondary deals between private equity players have become increasingly common. Dealogic investigates.
The secondary buy-out market, where one private equity firm sells on a company to another financial buyer, is seeing a dramatic growth with 32 deals valued at $8.3bn announced this year so far, a four-fold increase on last year's levels. This can, in part, be attributable to the closing of the IPO window as private equity firms look for alternative routes to exit their investments.
