Incisive Media - Alternative Assets Division

The Alternative Assets Division of Incisive Media has been collecting in-depth, verified data on European private equity backed transactions since it was formed (originally as Initiative Europe Ltd) in mid 1988. Initially, this activity focused on Europe's burgeoning market for management buyouts, though data on other types of deals began to be fed into unquote'' data in the early 1990s (for UK transactions);data surrounding non-buyout deals in Continental Europe has been added to the database since the mid 90s.
