Deal Flow Forecast 2024 

March 26th 2024

Following a subdued eighteen months leaving global private equity sitting on an estimated £2.59 trillion of “dry powder” with increasing pressure to deploy in 2024, Compass Carter Osborne welcomed a cohort of health and social care advisors for the latest round table discussion addressing whether a more positive trading environment will translate into more transactions in the sector. 

Topics included current trading levels, quality of assets coming to market, trends for active sub-sectors, stability of the debt markets, and the impact a possible change of government could have on M&A activity.
