Many firms offer professionals whose perspective on any engagement is limited to their background and experience primarily as bankers – a financial perspective singularly focused on a specific transaction.

Comment on M&A Maturity Index — Emerging markets for M&A by Scott Moeller

Thanks for asking about when the next edition of the maturity index will be available. We expect to be issuing this annually, so I would hope that we should have this available in late 2011. We don’t think the overall information about country maturity will change too dramatically on a month-by-month basis or even quarterly, although for any one country it could change a lot quite quickly (look at the examples of Greece or Ireland in 2010!). However, the source material we use for this index does not change as quickly … and thus my expectation that we will issue it only annually.

Maybe the failure of RBS-ABN Amro deal could be partly attributed to the confirmation bias of the BRS IB management.

Year-to-date, the cross border deals have principally been strategic. Only just now are the PE houses coming back to the market in any substantial volume.

Regarding behavioural finance effects, please see my posting from 4 January (‘Mergers & Acquisitions and Behavioural Finance’) which is here: http://intelligentmergers.com/2010/01/04/mergers-acquisitions-and-behavioural-finance/

Geared towards the comment on cross border deals; would you say those deals have been mainly driven by private equity buyers focused towards diversification or capturing high growth opportunities OR propelled by strategic MNC’s seeking to expand operations, enter markets, etc. in emerging economies?

Also, I’m keen to learn how you think behavioural factors are affecting such trends.
