M&A transactions into emerging markets are largely challenging due to the lack of transaction level information. The quant team provides visibility of the critical elements and risks associated with these markets.

Key to successful target identification is articulation of M&A objectives, suitable M&A strategy and metrics to evaluate target compatibility. The team manages the investment process that includes evaluation of the investment thesis and synergies and constraints of integration. Post-transaction the team works on addressing critical integration issues like organisation structure, employee retention, product / service portfolio and cultural integration.
