Financial Services
Current market trends that are supporting merger and acquisition activity within the financial services markets include:
-
Banks are expected to place an emphasis on diversification of revenue sources as they seek to insulate their business models from interest rate risk.
-
Increased competition, the rising bar for customer service and escalating costs of regulation and compliance are likely to force smaller financial services firms to consider merging with their larger counterparts in an attempt to gain synergistic benefits.
-
Overcapacity in the mortgage industry coupled with a tough operating environment is expected to lead to further consolidation in the mortgage industry.
-
The softness of pricing in the insurance industry has placed an emphasis on expanding market share, providing the opportunity for inorganic growth.
