Alliance of ACG And M&A

Mergers & Acquisitions is pleased to announce that we have been designated as the official publication of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) to launch an alliance that will be mutually rewarding to all segments of the m&a community. The new relationship links two venerable organizations dedicated to the sound professional conduct of m&a and related transactions. ACG, founded in 1954, is the premier organization encompassing a diversified array of professionals promoting corporate growth, corporate development, and mergers and acquisitions in the middle market of American and overseas businesses. It has 8,200 members who will become subscribers to M&A, which debuted in 1965 and is the leading publication aimed at practicing m&a professionals at both operating businesses and in the wide-ranging deal services sector. The alliance offers M&A a unique opportunity to enhance our services to longtime readers as well as the new ACG subscribers who will be coming on board as a result of the partnership. We will be able to keep all readers in step with the latest trends, methodologies, regulations, and other parameters of influence in the ever-dynamic m&a marketplace. And we will be able to tap the practical, firing-line experiences of ACG members to provide readers with new developments on everything from pricing trends to creative deal structuring to the skills needed to compete for optimum acquisitions in the 21st Century. We are excited about the results that will stem from this two-way exchange and we invite subscribers to let us know what new information, data, and features they would like M&A to adopt so we may be of the greatest service to all readers.
