Deal-by-deal investing continues to attract record levels of interest from GPs, LPs and debt providers of varying strategies and sizes. As new independent sponsors emerge and a growing number of investors allocate capital to direct investment strategies, the market continues to evolve at pace.
This event will bring together the expanding community to share perspectives, discuss current trends and connect with peers across the ecosystem. We will also be taking part in a fireside chat on this topic, offering deeper insight into the talent dynamics shaping the independent sponsor market.
