NEW RESEARCH: M&A Trends in Financial Services SITS

Over the past couple of years, FinancialServicesViews reports have focused on the significant changes that are happening within the Financial Services sector as new demands are placed upon providers in terms of meeting new regulatory requirements, fulfilling growing customer expectations and reducing costs. The rate of change is faster now than ever before, particularly as new competitors are becoming more aggressive and as technological advances such as cloud and smartphones enable new business models.

Software and IT Services suppliers need to quickly broaden their skill sets and portfolio to meet the changing demands from Financial Services providers. As a consequence, this sector is the focus of lots of M&A activity as companies seek to strengthen their market position.

This latest report, “M&A Trends in Financial Services SITS” examines the M&A activity across the UK Financial Services sector over the past nine months. Working with data supplied by corporate finance firm Regent Partners we analyse the acquisitions by sub-sector and discuss major trends and valuation. We also comment on the outlook for M&A in this exciting sector, where we expect a consistently high level of transactions.
