AVCAL and Pacific Strategy Partners worked together to develop the Australian Deal Metrics Survey: the third annual report of private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) deal activity, covering deals executed up to the end of June 2011.
These deal metrics are important for the effective tracking of how PE and VC deals and valuations are trending over the short, medium and long term.
Since the last report, PE activity has shown some promising signs in spite of continuing economic uncertainty. This has been demonstrated through a significant increase in deal value compared to the prior two years, thanks to the gradual return of larger deals and continued resilience in the mid-market segment.
However, there have been continued challenges in the VC space. This is reflected in lower VC deal volumes and sizes, with older funds reaching the end of their lives and fewer and smaller new funds being established.
