Who Has the Dealmaking Advantage?

Amid a challenging economic outlook, compounded by 2023’s banking crisis, global deal-making activity has experienced a significant slowdown. Yet despite this decrease in deal volume, the market continues to evolve with a growing number of different financing structures, club deals, and the involvement of private market players. The question remains- who has the dealmaking advantage in the current economic environment, private equity or corporate dealmakers?

This webinar, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with SS&C Intralinks, brought together dealmakers to explore the future of M&A in a volatile economic environment.
