NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ISI Emerging Markets, the leading provider of hard-to-get business information on emerging markets, today announces the launch of DealMonitor, an exclusive database and tool designed to help investors and business owners quickly identify future M&A deal and Equity Capital Market (ECM) activity, trends and opportunities in the emerging markets.  DealMonitor is a component of the DealWatch information product, offered as a part of the Company's flagship Emerging Markets Information Service (EMIS) product line.

Combining exclusive buy or sell intents unearthed by DealWatch journalists, with those which have been publicly-announced, the DealMonitor interactive forecasting module captures emerging market forward-looking M&A and IPO intentions on a country-by-country basis.  

The DealMonitor database features thousands of entries and a host of search options related to possible transactions, including deal timing, the size of the potential investor and target involved, the deal type, the status of the potential talks, stake size, probability of the deal, and other unique or related information.  

"DealMonitor not only summarizes and projects future emerging market M&A activity, it goes a step further by providing users a 'long list' with full company profiles of possible matches for the potential bidders and targets," states Boris Maleshkov, Editor-in-Chief, DealWatch.  

"This distinctive emerging market M&A 'heat map' and database leverages our proprietary editorial resources, as well as information from the core Emerging Markets Information Service (EMIS) product, which includes fundamental data, news and research on publicly listed and private companies in more than 80 emerging markets globally," Mr. Maleshkov adds.  "Although the initial DealMonitor release is heavily weighted with Central and Eastern Europe deals, more Latin American and Asian M&A activity will be added over the coming months."  

"We are very pleased to launch DealMonitor in response to customer requests for more timely, high-quality, unique M&A and ECM content," says Diego Obere, Global Product Director, EMIS.  "This continually updated snapshot of projected emerging market M&A and IPO activity, combined with the time-saving company matching service and unique visualization capabilities, is a robust addition to the DealWatch transactions database and news service already offered on Emerging Markets Information Service (EMIS)."
