Deals update: Further increase in investment activity in Europe and the US, but exits thin

There was a further gentle upturn in investment activity in the week ending 11 March, although concerns about liquidity are unlikely to be assuaged by the news that exits were once again down.

There were 145 active investors in 54 deals, with three exits across 12 sectors, compared to last week's 104 investors in 39 deals and seven exits. All three of the exits were in Europe.

Software and technology both attracted a lot of interest this week, with 14 and 11 deals respectively. Once again healthcare and life sciences seemed less popular with just six deals recorded.
