“M&A Edge” Webcast Replay - An Overview and Outlook of the Current M&A Landscape

November 14, 2007 - 1:00 PM EST

Over the past two years, RiskMetrics Group's M&A Edge has documented the rise of shareholder activism, in particular the species of activism practiced by hedge funds. We have noted that activism as an investment strategy is now considered to be a legitimate asset class, as evidenced by the significant amount of institutional funds dedicated to achieving alpha by proactive shareholder engagement. M&A Edge subscribers who receive our monthly Pipeline of contentious situations know that our team has tracked high-profile activist campaigns since 2005. We’re also happy to announce that our coverage has expanded to Europe as well.

With the rise of such hedge fund activism, a volatile market in public-to-private transactions with an intervening credit crunch, and M&A activity gaining momentum overseas, the M&A landscape has never been more dynamic. Please join analyst Chris Young for a webcast detailing the M&A product offering that is currently available on the Financial Research & Analysis internet platform. The webcast forum will feature insight into the current M&A landscape, an overview of how the M&A team evaluates contentious deals, the value proposition of M&A Edge research, and what to expect on the M&A horizon.
