Thomson Reuters Introduces New Merger Arbitrage Dataset to Support Event-Driven
Hedge Fund Managers
Allows asset managers to find new ways to generate alpha from Thomson Reuters
time-series database covering the evolution of individual M&A transactions over
more than 30 years
NEW YORK, October 14, 2014 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced the
launch of a new mergers and acquisitions (M&A) dataset to support event-driven
hedge fund managers. Thomson Reuters M&A data provides the global asset
management and alternative investment management industries with comprehensive
coverage of M&A activity worldwide.
Thomson Reuters M&A data incorporates over 900,000 M&A events announced since
the late 1970s, currently available to clients through a flexible suite of
datafeed offerings. This comprehensive M&A transaction coverage is now
accompanied by a new event history companion dataset that features time series
data through the evolution of the deal. The multidimensional view of the dates,
valuations and events, from announcement to completion, empowers advanced
quantitative modeling of completion probability, timeframes and risks over time
while delivering competitive insight to asset managers and alternative asset
managers worldwide.
Thomson Reuters M&A data allows hedge fund managers to:
* Track a deal's evolution and examine events leading up to deal consummation
or withdrawal
* Gain a holistic view of current and historical deals against a fully
normalized dataset dating back to the 1970s
* Isolate innovative predictive signals from a vast dataset of hundreds of M&A
terms and conditions
* Combine robust and granular data feeds with current deal updates and other
data in their systems to support algorithm back-testing
"We have reached an inflection point in the world of M&A activity and I am
delighted that we are able to provide the hedge fund industry with a much needed
tool to advance their merger arbitrage strategies," said Ranjit Tinaikar,
managing director, Advisory & Investment Management, Thomson Reuters. "Thomson
Reuters M&A data further demonstrates our commitment to improve our customers'
workflow by bringing together the content & capabilities our customers need to
make more informed investment decisions and gain a competitive advantage."
The Thomson Reuters M&A database tracks changes in economic ownership at
ultimate parent level in ongoing business. All deals involving a purchase of at
least a 5% stake (or a 3% stake for disclosed value deals of at least US$1
million) are tracked, including transactions which began as rumors and "seeking
buyer" transactions (including auctions and bankruptcy/receivership sales).
Thomson Reuters M&A is part of the Deals database, the industry's most
comprehensive and historically extensive information source. Thomson Reuters
Deals data allows clients to monitor deal flow, identify market trends and gain
insight into competitive positioning within any region, asset class or industry
vertical at highly flexible levels of granularity.
