❗ ❗ European investment opportunities in Q3 ❗ ❗   Following the success of my previous post for my UK network, I thought I would expand this out to focus on the European Market.   Our account management team continue to exceed expectations in ensuring our clients are getting the Q3 dealflow that they need to win in this market.   Deal Sourcing: ✅ 2,645 unsold European PE backed firms looking for liquidity – who are they? ✅ 1,678 European VC backed firms that raised later stage VC capital in 2021 and haven’t raised since – how much longer will their runway last? ✅ 325 European debt instruments that reach maturity across the course of Q3 – how is the debt structured?   Message me the region you would like to focus on "DACH", "BeNeLux", "CEE", "Nordics" etc if you'd be open to getting access or book a call directly with me using the link on my page. #vc #pe #Q3 #dealsourcing #debt #pitchbook #venturecapital #privateequity #europe #uk

Underlying profit grew 12% year‐on‐year, on the back of robust investment returns, strong progress on fundraising and strong fund deployment. Importantly, Bridgepoint’s strong transaction origination capability and disciplined investment approach continues to deliver high-quality returns with all funds remaining on or above plan in both deployment and performance. The addition of ECP to the Group, expected to occur in Q2 2024 (subject to final regulatory clearance), will represent a major step forward in implementing the strategy set out at IPO.

A recent report by Lumina Capital Advisers on the state of play for MENA M&A predicts continued strong regional performance in 2024 due to: Increased deal size and sophistication, driven by a shift towards cross-border transactions and away from traditional VC models. Rise of private equity and private credit as funding sources, driven by increased participation of sovereign wealth funds. Growth of foreign direct investment in non-oil sectors. Regulatory reform and the proliferation of special economic zones have calmed investor apprehensions. Emphasis on joint-venture projects with national champions in key sectors such as healthcare and infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/d7x5E5FJ #mergersandacquisitions #menaregion
