The US asset and wealth management deals insights Q1 2017 summary is now available. This publication includes the deal activity in the asset and wealth management sector such as overall highlights, key announced transactions, and the outlook ahead.
Deals in the asset and wealth management industry kicked off to a record start in Q1 2017 with 41 announced deals. This record activity was driven by a steep increase in number of wealth management and hedge fund transactions. Both of these subsectors had their lowest deal volume in Q4 2016 and it appears that increased activity in Q1 2017 is as a result of catch-up in delayed activity.
