On-demand Webinar: Trends in M&A and Capital Raising

View the recording to find out how the landscape continues to evolve and get the latest on the ins and outs of global dealmaking.  

It’s fair to say that in Q1 2019 global dealmaking did not surpass expectations. Investment banking fees were down 14 percent year-on-year and while global M&A dropped  20 percent compared with the same period in 2018. The number of mega deals halved in value and capital markets registered hefty declines. 

Join us for a deep dive of Q2, ins and outs of dealmaking so far this year and a forward looking view into what is yet to come in 2019.
