The Latin American transactional market increased its activity during the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year, both in number of deals and volume invested. Brazil-based and Mexico-based acquirers were the most active, registering some of the largest deals. Belgium-based AB InBev completed the acquisition of a 50% stake in Grupo Modelo, a Mexico-based manufacturer of the famous Corona beer. The deal value was some USD 20,100m. Highlights also include the financial and insurance sector with several relevant deals, such as the offer announcement made by Colombia-based Grupo Bancolombia to acquire HSBC Panamá. The deal value was approximately USD 2,100m. Furthermore, Principal Financial Group, a US-based insurance company, closed a takeover offer to acquire a 63.44% stake in AFP Cuprum, a Chile-based pension fund management company, held by Empresas Penta. The deal value was USD 1,500m.
