In Handelsblatt I'm discussing the future of active ETFs and their potential to reshape the investment landscape. One possible scenario: active ETFs emerge as the preferred vehicle for both retail and institutional investors. But then again, the distribution landscape in certain european countries may slow this trend down. 💬 What are your thoughts? Could active ETFs redefine asset management, possibly replacing mutual funds as we know them? And what would that shift mean for asset managers and fund administrators? #AssetManagement #ETFs #Investing #ActiveETFs #FinanceInnovation

„Looking back at the second quarter of 2024, German M&A activity has remained stable, with a slight upward trend emerging towards the second half of the year.   Despite the first interest rate cut in Europe in five years, prevailing uncertainties and high interest rates are keeping investors cautious. However, the number of unresolved successions and the high level of capital raised suggest that M&A activity will eventually pick up, especially in the lower & mid-market.   In Q2 2024, the most active sectors were business services, technology, and several industry verticals that incorporate sustainability aspects." – Sam Brozynski For more information, please reach out to Sam via DM.     #Germany #IOMAdvisory #MandA #Q22024 #dealsdonehandson #PrivateEquity #deals #reachma

Andreas Hellmann, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, spoke to IPE DACH about the “adolescence” of the private equity industry. According to Andreas, the asset class has left the niche, as today it is part of almost every institutional portfolio. He finds it particularly remarkable that all parties involved in a private equity investment typically align their forces to drive positive change. Andreas believes that the realization of such long-term plans for a company, which are more difficult to realize in the public stock market, makes the asset class so interesting for institutional investors.   Read more here (article in German): https://lnkd.in/gEt3PvDQ   #lgtcapitalpartners #lgtcp #privatemarkets #privateequity #institutionalinvestors
