2009 US Tech M&A League Table

Since there's been a few questions about good tech groups recently, figured this table would be a nice data point for the prospective monkeys out there. Now, a few words.

  • I have no idea about the methodology used (announced vs. completed, etc.)
  • League tables are stupid anyway, but people use them so here it is...

Interesting list. I'm shocked that CS isn't on it. I thought they were one of the top tech M&A shops. Take these rankings with a big grain of salt - firms move around a LOT from year to year. JPM wasn't even in the top 10 in 2007.

thisguy - there's no real ranking per se for AM and S&T, maybe you can find HF performance for AM but that's about it HF performance: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/ytd-hedge-fund-performance-0

Pierce - As am I, that's one of the reasons I disclaimed these as uncertain methodology. And again, league tables are of limited usefulness for picking firms as prospective monkeys - exit opp.s aren't exactly correlated to them, only to the extent of your deal experience - if you're at a BB and worked on several smaller deals, you can definitely land megafund PE. Of course, this is a good place for a reminder that culture/fit is hugely important. Just wanted to provide this as one data point.
