Merger, private equity deals surge in Oct

Merger & acquisition (M&A) and private equity (PE) deal activities witnessed a surge in October, with a cumulative mop-up of $3.1 billion from 90 transactions. In the corresponding period of 2011, 77 deals worth a little under $1 billion took place, according to audit, tax and advisory firm Grant Thornton.
