A recent edition of the Globe & Mail featured the following eye catcher: “Canadian M&A Craters in the Third Quarter”. While it’s true that mega-deals cratered in the third quarter, mid-market activity, the bread and butter of Canadian mergers and acquisitions, remained strong, writes Karen Fisman of Toronto boutique M&A advisory firm Valitas Capital Partners. In an exclusive feature article for PE Hub Canada, Fisman says Valitas and other market sources believe 2017 is in fact shaping up quite well for Canada's mid-market, with the fourth quarter already off to a strong start.
