Monthly M&A Review – September 2025

Dear,

 

The third quarter of 2025 delivered strong returns across most asset classes, driven by easing trade tensions, AI optimism, and expectations of Fed rate cuts. Emerging markets outperformed, while Europe lagged, with German equities under pressure and French markets proving more resilient despite political uncertainty.

This September also marks a special milestone for us: VDP celebrates its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1995 by Eric Verbaere and Guy De Clercq, we are proud to carry forward their pioneering legacy as one of Belgium’s first corporate finance boutiques.

Finally, we are pleased to announce the successful sale of a software company to a German specialised investment firm.

 

Enjoy the reading!

 

Sincerely,

 

The VDP team
