WINDSOR, Conn., Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C
Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today introduced results
from the Q4 2021 issue of the SS&C Intralinks Deal Flow
Predictor, an indicator of future mergers and acquisitions
(M&A) announcements.
"We anticipate the number of M&A transactions to reach new
heights in Q4 2021 on a year-over-year basis," said Ken
Bisconti, Co-Head, SS&C Intralinks. "We're predicting an
increase of greater than 10% in mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
volume compared to Q4 2020, with Latin
America carrying outsized volume. While we continue to keep
a close eye on the impact of inflation, COVID-19 resurgence and
geopolitical issues, it appears that dealmakers are poised to
continue charging forward."
Regional market forecasts for Q4 2021
M&A activity:
- Asia Pacific continues
to provide consistent and reliable deal flow across most sectors.
As a result, in Q4 2021, the region's volume is forecast to grow by
more than 10% against Q4 2020 and at a similar level compared to Q3
2021.
- Europe, the Middle
East, and Africa saw sharp increases in M&A
momentum. As a result, we expect to see greater than 10% growth in
volume compared to Q4 2020 and 5-10% greater than announced volume
in Q3 2021.
- In Latin America,
headwinds in Q2 were mitigated by strength in Argentina and Mexico. As a result, we expect the region's
announced deal volume to exceed Q4 2020 volume by 10% or greater,
but decrease by less than 5% compared to a strong Q3 2021. The
decrease should be evaluated against other comparables with
abnormally high previous quarters.
- In North America, the trend of steady and
sustainable growth continues. The region is forecast to grow
announced volume by greater than 10% against Q4 2020 and Q3
2021.

diligence stage. On average, early-stage deals are six months away
