Overview
Due Diligence Live - the FT’s premier event connecting the world’s top leaders and influencers in corporate finance, private equity and M&A - returns in-person to London this October with a series of high-level panels and conversations featuring the world’s leading corporate CEOs, investors, private equity firms and financiers across multiple sectors.
Tracking global M&A markets
In the past 12 months, deal value and size has soared across multiple sectors. Capital has flooded private markets at record pace. Dry powder continues to grow, incentivising buyout firms to put more and more money to work. How will M&A maintain its momentum in the wake of post-pandemic recovery? Will management teams and boardrooms remain confident of sourcing deals for good value? How will global business leaders and investors navigate the most uncertain geopolitical environment seen for a generation? Will banks remain willing to finance takeovers in the face of market volatility? Are we seeing greater appetite for higher leverage from non-bank financing?
