As the first half of 2024 concludes, industry insights from PitchBook provide a promising outlook for the M&A landscape in the latter half of the year: "Looking ahead, the potential for lower rates later in 2024, contingent on moderating inflation data, instills optimism for a potential rebound in deal activity in the second half of the year. Despite the challenging sponsor exit environment, the pipeline of deals should grow in anticipation of lower rates, which will boost M&A activity in future quarters." At R.L. Hulett, with 43 years of experience and a track record of advising on over 280 successful transactions, our team is prepared to navigate these evolving market conditions. We are committed to assisting our clients in capitalizing on the anticipated increase in M&A activity, ensuring optimized outcomes. #InvestmentBanking #MiddleMarket #MergersAndAcquisitions #RateCuts

Despite current macroeconomic challenges, middle-market buyout firms continue to raise substantial funds. Investors favor middle-market funds for their resilience and strong performance amid today's high interest rates. Dry powder dedicated to investment in middle-market companies continues to rise, with nearly half of all PE capital raised in Q1 allocated to these funds. According to PitchBook, "funds targeting middle-market deals have generated above-market returns between Q1 2022 and Q3 2023." For potential sellers, this elevated fundraising activity indicates strong buyer interest and robust market performance in the middle market. At R.L. Hulett, we leverage over 40 years of expertise in middle-market transactions to capitalize on these trends and provide seamless M&A advisory services for our clients. #InvestmentBanking #MergersAndAcquisitions #PrivateEquity #MiddleMarket
