Could be wrong here but financials and the energy sector tend to outperform amidst inflation
Restructuring maybe
Dcm prob bad
m&a prob bad
ecm not sure
tmt prob bad
Like other guy said.. metals and mining, energy, fins all prob fine
Would you mind elaborating on your rationale for M&A? I would think higher input costs could drive economies of scale seeking, maybe some vertical acquisitions... also higher share prices / market caps / TEVs means higher deal fees
I mean logically in the long run fees across the board will go up. With that being said any active mandates will suffer because they will lose out on some value.
The only areas that I see not doing well is potentially heavy importing companies.
Restructuring, and Securitized Products
will EB's be better positioned?
