When clients hire us to pursue liquidity events through leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, we don't just focus on finding any investor. At City Capital, we source the right private equity firms with the required capital and who are best positioned to maximize value and/or reposition the business for continued sustainable growth. It's all part of our commitment to securing the best possible outcome for our clients. city-cap.com | #citycapital #mergersandacquisitions #privateequity

With 97% of family offices expecting positive returns this year, they're the most bullish they’ve been in years and are preparing to put their cash to work now that the Fed has started cutting interest rates. Family offices - the private investment arms of wealthy families - are emerging from two years of hoarding cash to start making more aggressive bets on market and valuation growth. Private equity, venture capital, real estate and hedge funds now account for 40% of the family offices' portfolios, and that number is likely to keep growing, especially as more family offices make direct investments in private companies.

Our clients know that when they work with us, they're getting a team with decades of experience to handle any type of situation. Our expert market knowledge and judgment, disciplined transaction processes, superior company positioning, extensive relationships with leading strategic and financial investors, and strong and effective negotiating skills are just some of the tools at our disposal to deliver outsized financial outcomes.

A landmark decision from the NFL will allow its teams to sell a stake of up to 10% to private equity firms, and the league has identified a small group of funds that are eligible to invest. A team can allow multiple funds to invest, but their combined investments must not exceed 10% of the team’s valuation, and each stake must be at least 3%. Private equity investors will be obligated to hold onto their investments for at least six years before they can sell their stakes. Considering most other North American sports leagues already allow private equity investment, it seemed inevitable the NFL would eventually jump on board.
