In this episode, we explore the performance of add-ons, roll-up strategies, divestitures and take-privates over the past year. In a climate of high interest rates and bank retrenchment, private credit’s heightened role at the outset of last year in facilitating dealmaking emerged as a prominent headline, providing considerable returns for many sponsors and LPs. Has private credit solidified its role in M&A? Plus, we identify key themes and sectors presenting the most opportunities in the next 12 months.
