Deal Flow Check In
Curious to see if groups are starting to see a pickup in deal flow, obviously a lot of dry powder at the moment. For me, in FIG, has been busier and starting to see more pitches succeed.

Top MM Industrials Group
Shits crazy right now. Countless buysides, seems like every analyst is on one, and so many pitches awaiting feedback that would be kicked off in a few months
In MM Levfin, definitely seeing a lot more sponsor activity
In EMEA Industrials. Was quiet from Jan to April, but now things are seriously ramping up. We have a lot of buy side mandates. Every analysts is on at least 2 live deals, average is 3-4
EMEA M&A team: Sub $1bn deal flow is high, both buy sides and sell sides but market is still soft. Tough to close deals and good $1bn+ assets are rare. Sponsors still very cautious on exits & large ticket deployments. Keen to see where we land post elections.
