Financial services M&A will continue to be challenging in 2024, but the need for financial institutions to transform should give dealmakers greater optimism. Many financial services (FS) #dealmakers entered 2024 with a greater sense of optimism, reflecting on 2023 as a low point in which uncertainty created by macroeconomic factors such as high inflation, rising interest rates and lower economic growth projections dampened M&A activity. While macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical tensions remain challenging, recent gains in the financial markets and positive signals about interest rates from central banks are slowly inspiring the return of investor confidence.

Banks across Europe raised €128.84 billion from capital offerings in the first three months of 2024, making it one of the busiest quarters in recent years. It was the second-strongest three-month period since the second quarter of 2020, and was just shy of the €130.80 billion raised a year ago, S&P Global Market Intelligence data shows. Some €127.44 billion was raised in debt, while the remaining €1.39 billion was equity issuance. #europeanbanks #capital

As growing expectations for a soft landing led the rally in risk and loans through July, the YTD, income driven, total return for bank loans is now 7.85% − on pace for the best return year since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC). This attractive current income, combined with a resilient economy and a corresponding view of “higher for longer” rates, may be causing investors to rethink their positioning on bank loans as it outperforms investment grade and high yield. Indeed, retail fund flows were largely flat for the month and CLO issuance picked up as well. #credit #leveragedfinance #leveragedloans #assetallocation #fixedincome

Why don’t you love me anymore? Fintechs & the Equity markets.  The period of soaring valuations during the boom of non-bank lender share prices in 2020 and 2021 has been followed by several years of material declining equity values despite growing loan books. Amidst this, expectations of rate cuts and lower than expected loss rates has started to create some green shoots but the key to reclaiming equity market confidence lies in demonstrating profitable growth without requiring further equity raises. Uncover how OpCo lending solutions offer a pathway to achieving this goal. https://lnkd.in/gxSbtSjy

August was another strong month in Loans (up 1.2%). Growing expectations for a soft landing and limited new issue supply (for now) in the face for surging repayments provided support. Meanwhile, strong recent stubborn inflation data raises concerns that rates may stay higher for longer, or even need to increase further, leading investors to reassess the space. Indeed, retail fund flows are moderating and CLOs printed over $11B in volume. With yield to maturity still over 10%, it may be possible to see loans return similar to historic equity-like returns over the next twelve months, especially in a "higher for longer" rate scenario and improved economic backdrop. #leveragedfinance #credit #bankloans #highyieldbonds #assetallocation #assetmanagement
