M&A is becoming an increasingly important driver of value creation for private equity, according to Neuberger Berman managing director Paul Daggett.

The trend that will (likely) never stop: Private equity firms acquiring RIAs.  Everyone likes money- more is better, right? RIA owners considering PE should explore numerous PE firms- don’t take the first offer just because it's first- and should involve sell side representation early in the process. And, with any acquisition (the benefit) comes restrictions and control by the acquirer (the potential drawback).
