Sovere<\/strong>ign wealth funds (SWFs) are pushing global M&A activity to new <\/strong>highs<\/strong>, with volumes already surpassing the USD 3.5 tn mark this year, up 34% y-o-y, according to data compiled by Bloomberg<\/a>. This puts us on track for the best M&A year since 2021, the business news information service said. <\/p>\n

More than USD 1.3 tn in transactions were logged in 3Q<\/strong>, driven by a series of high-value mega plays. Much of that momentum came from our part of the world, where MENA-involved M&As brought in USD 157.3 bn in 9M across 963 transactions, up 166% y-o-y, driven by the UAE (USD 45 bn) and Saudi Arabia (USD 5.6 bn), according to LSEG data<\/a>. <\/p>\n

ICYMI- Some of the biggest plays YTD were SWF-backed: <\/strong>The Public Investment Fund (PIF) led a <\/span>USD 55<\/a>bn leveraged buyout of video-game maker Electronic Arts<\/a> last month, marking the largest global transaction so far this year. Mubadala\u2019s AI arm, MGX, followed with a <\/span>USD 40 bn partnership with BlackRock<\/a> to acquire Texas-based Aligned Data Centers. Rounding out the list, Abu Dhabi\u2019s ADIA and Singapore\u2019s GIC most recently took minority stakes in Blackstone and TPG\u2019s <\/span>USD 18.3 bn acquisition of medical-device maker Hologic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

SWFs also \u2764\ufe0f AI: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi\u2019s ADIA backed Thoma Bravo\u2019s USD 12 bn takeover of HR software firm<\/a>Dayforce<\/a> in August, while Mubadala\u2019s MGX invested in OpenAI, xAI, and plans to join the Stargate venture<\/a>. Meanwhile, Singapore\u2019s GIC and Qatar\u2019s QIA invested in rival AI firm Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Cutting out the middle-men: <\/strong>Gulf SWFs are increasingly taking matters into their own hands, expanding in-house investment teams to execute transactions directly rather than relying on Wall Street intermediaries, Bloomberg wrote. The shift gives them greater control, lower fees, and access to co-investment rights alongside major private equity players.<\/p>\n

The award for the most active sector for M&A in the region goes to: materials<\/strong>, which remained the top-performing sector in MENA M&A in terms of value, contributing USD 32.6 bn, or 57% of total regional transaction value. Momentum came largely from heavyweight corporates rather than sovereign funds, including ADNOC and OMV\u2019s planned merger of Borouge and Borealis<\/a> into a USD 60 bn chemicals giant, which also includes a USD 13.4 bn acquisition of NOVA Chemicals still pending completion. It was followed by energy and financials at USD 4.6 bn each. <\/p>\n

Outlook is rosy for next year: <\/strong>Bankers expect the M&A rally to carry into 2026 as sovereign funds and corporates continue to deploy record dry powder, with both already scouting new targets. Goldman Sachs sees dealmaking momentum accelerating into year-end, with next year potentially setting a new global record. <\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets are mostly in the green this morning<\/strong> on news that US President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, with South Korea\u2019s Kospi leading gains with a c.2% rise, followed closely by Japan\u2019s Nikkei. Over on Wall Street, futures are little changed as investors await September inflation data. <\/p>\n
