Cross-Border Transactions in a more Fragmented World
An Evening of Investment Banking Strategy & High-Level Networking
Join the IENYC Finance & Strategy Club for an intimate, deep-dive exploration into the shifting landscape of global M&A deal-making.
As geopolitical shifts and economic fragmentation redefine how capital moves across borders, the role of investment banking is undergoing a fundamental transformation. We are bringing together a curated group of senior finance professionals to discuss how leading firms are navigating these complexities.
This is a practitioner-led session focused on the real-world mechanics of global M&A and market strategy.
What We’ll Cover:
The New Map of Global M&A: How "fragmentation" is changing the risk profile and execution of cross-border deals.
Sector Resilience: Identifying which industries are thriving despite (or because of) current geopolitical tensions.
Career Insights: Candid perspectives from the top on what it takes to lead at firms like Alantra and Houlihan Lokey.
The Future of Global Markets: How trading and capital allocation are adapting to a more localized world.
