Abstract

German Abstract: Wir stellen verschiedene Investmentstrategien rund um M&A vor. Cash Merger Arbitrage und Stock Merger Arbitrage werden behandelt als auch die Wette auf Compensation Schemes. Zudem untersuchen wir empirisch, ob der Erfolg von M&A mit ökonometrischen Methoden und maschinellem Lernen vorhergesagt werden kann.

English Abstract: We introduce various investment strategies related to M&A situations, explain their risks and returns. Cash Merger Arbitrage and Stock Merger Arbitrage are explored as well as betting on Compensation Schemes. Also, we investigate empirically whether the binary variable success/failure of an attempted M&A deal can be forecasted using classical econometrics and machine learning.
