“Total M&A activity is also at the highest level since 2007, with global volumes at $2.9 trillion for the year to date, according to the data provider Dealogic. That is up around 38% on the same period last year. Effron has been one of the biggest beneficiaries. He advised Kraft on its $58 billion merger with Heinz, and he is advising General Electric of its disposal of $200 billion of assets, according to Centerview’s website. He added that the high valuations in the M&A wave were being justified in the context of today’s environment of low interest rates. That isn’t likely to last forever.”
