Reporting directly from IPEM Paris
Talk of mega deals has been making waves at IPEM at the Palais des Congrès de Paris. Yesterday’s expert panel included Maxim Crewe, Partner at Cinven and Michael Wand, Managing Director of The Carlyle Group, they excited the audience with talks of mega deals making a comeback. Crewe explained the time was right because, despite world politics, there was growing confidence in earnings, providing a better and more accurate read on an asset’s potential. A more positive view around interest rates was certainly thought to be helping too, as well as a record amount of uninvested dry powder which, according to IPEM, stands at US$1.1 trillion with a further US$2.8 trillion of assets sitting in buyout firms’ portfolios, all creating mounting pressure to transact.
Candesic Senior Partner Marc Kitten and Candesic Associate Dr Marco Mazevet have been in attendance joining many of the informative and industry-leading sessions.
