Screening in CIQ for firms acquired via LBO - historic

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing some research about the influence of hot debt market on the leverage of LBOs and the subsequent firm growth of the targets.

I use Mergermarket to construct the list of LBOs in line for my research, but unfortunately Mergermarket doesn't provide financial information about the targets.
For this point I'm using Capital IQ.

My first attempt was screening all firms involved in any transaction during the period of the Mergermarket sample. I then tried to link both datasets, which did work only for a small fraction of LBOs. The most targets from the Mergermarkets haven't been listed in the Capital IQ screening result.

So my question is, whtether it is possible in Capital IQ to screen for firms which have been explicitly involved in LBOs? Maybe then I would be able to link the two datasets.

Best regards,
ben

Method 1 1. "Screening" tab 2. Select the criteria that you are looking for under "General Transaction Details" 3. Select "Buyout" under the "Transaction Types" which is under "Investment Criteria / PE Funds".

Method 2.
1. Build a list of PE firms who does LBOs 2. Select "Direct Investments" in the tab of the individual PE profile

Hope it helps.
