Financial investors: more but smaller deals<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our financial investors<\/strong> have been leading the 72% of the corporate operations<\/strong> (65 transactions) materialised in 2013, with the remaining 28% in the hands of industrialists (25 transactions), i.e. companies buying other companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The total recorded investment amounted to \u20ac406M. If we remove from the list the aforementioned purchase of Arsys and the purchase of Softonic, the amount invested is reduced to \u20ac184M. The average amount invested by the industrial investor was \u20ac4.3M compared to \u20ac2.8M for the financial investor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"In our opinion, the industrial investor will play a very important role in the acquisition of companies in the ICT sector. At a time when money is scarce, the ability to provide greater synergies vis-\u00e0-vis the investors<\/strong> The difference in the amount of the financial assistance will enable them to enter on better terms. The difference in the amount of investment<\/strong> This is because industrialists tend to enter at more advanced stages and therefore in larger companies, and they tend to prefer acquisitions to expansions,\" comments Diego Gutierrez, an expert in alternative financing at Abra Invest.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In which activities has the most investment been made?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The large company raised \u20ac42M in capital increases in three deals:\u00a0Plenummedia<\/span>\u00a0(digital marketing for SMEs),\u00a0IG Internet Brazilian Investements<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0(online travel agency) and\u00a0Privalia\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(private online shopping club).<\/span>
