Conference Home
The only event that focuses squarely on the intricacies of deal structuring and pricing, and on the complex drivers of buyside behaviour in the new market paradigm.
The leveraged buyout market is at a major turning point. Deal structures and pricing are being reappraised, and the trajectory of the market is under severe scrutiny.
To get a fix on the future of this key marketplace, Marek Gumienny, Managing Director of Candover, along with a host of leading market participants, will be joining the IFR's 3rd Annual Financing Leveraged Buyouts Conference. They will share their views on how the dynamics of deal-making will keep pace with fundamental changes at play in the European LBO market.
The two-day conference focuses on major themes in leveraged finance markets. This is the ideal opportunity for investors, sponsors and underwriters to gain valuable insights into the latest industry trends, challenges and opportunities.
Key issues to be addressed include:
- Is the LBO market set for a lasting transformation?
- Expected trends and likely scenarios in the European LBO market
- How will sponsors play the market reversal?
- Opportunities and challenges of opening new markets
- Will there be further convergence between US and European markets?
