M&A activity to rise 35%in 2010 According to BersteinResearch
Written by Richard Jackim   
The research firm Sanford C. Bernstein said in a research note that they expect merger and acquisition activity to increase by as much as 35 percent in 2010 as improving economic conditions bolster dealmaking.

The financial services and insurance sectors will continue to be the most active sector for M&A in 2010 and there will be a growing focus on deals in distressed real estate and debt restructuring, Bernstein's Brad Hintz said.

Despite the sharp bounce from the depressed level set this year, Hintz does not expect M&A activity to cross the peak set in 2007 within the next 4 years.
