Private equity firms have amassed almost $1.5 trillion in “dry powder” at the end of 2019, the highest year-end total on record, according to data compiled by Preqin. The 2020 M&A activity is likely to surpass the 2019 volume of approximately $450 billion worth of private equity deals.
The panel comprised of a partner in a private equity firm, chief investment officer of a hedge fund, a private equity and M&A lawyer and a transactional due diligence and investigations expert will discuss the economic and geopolitical outlook, macro and microeconomic market drivers, deal expectations and transaction structures, as well as answer questions from the audience. As an investment banker, I look forward to addressing current transactional trends, capital availability, and issues and challenges in getting deals to closing.
