SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:SSNC) will look for tuck-in acquisitions. Patrick Pedonti, Chief Financial Officer said, "Yes. I mean -- our priority, and you can look at us historically, has been to use our free cash flow to do acquisitions.

And then when we do the acquisitions using the cash generated, we will not be able to pay down the debt and get our leverage back down. That's been our overall strategy. The M&A market right now is pretty slow.

People haven't really reduced their price expectations at this point. We're just delaying. The credit markets are not terribly reliable.

One day, they will open and the next day they're closed. So that's a risk. So I think in the near term, though this stabilizes, we'll do some small tuck-in acquisitions.

We might spend $100 million or $200 million a year doing small tuck-in acquisitions with our free cash flow, which is over $1 billion".
