To be in 'AFR' on Monday 22 July 2024:
M&A forecast? It’s about to rain private capital deals
Private capital hunters – domestic superannuation funds, offshore pension funds and asset managers such as KKR and Brookfield – have their chequebooks out and are trying to get their hands on $50 billion of Australian targets.
Public equities had a financial year to remember, but not even Nvidia and Commonwealth Bank’s huge gains can stop the private capital train.
The train, building for years, is really gathering steam.
