👋 Hello from London, where last week saw us discussing all things asset allocation in our DB AART 24 Macro & Asset Allocation Round Table and inaugural Quant Summit. The agenda was packed full of relevant topics, with clients listening to and exchanging views on macroeconomic developments, markets, and asset allocation as we head into the last quarter of the year. Topics discussed included the US elections, central bank balance sheet normalisation, the Asian risk smile, what inflation can do to the bond-equity correlation, and much more. The DB Quant Summit 24 followed the main conference on day two and provided an opportunity for clients to hear more about new inventions in the QIS and to discuss portfolio construction and tail-risk topics. Thanks to all those who attended! 👏 #QIS #InvestmentBanking #Markets #DeutscheBank Edvin Petersson

Many private equity firms are facing a meaningful valuation gap when it comes to monetizing certain assets, according to Alison Harding-Jones. Deutsche Bank's Global Head of M&A recently shared her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities in today’s private equity landscape with the Australian Financial Review. She explained that the valuation gap has widened, with firms often reluctant to sell at a price lower than the last valuation, noting the “valuation gap is not 5 percent — it’s sometimes closer to 20 percent to 25 percent.” She also highlighted that these issues are becoming more pressing as investors demand returns from asset sales, and capital needs to be deployed. Looking ahead, there is growing optimism for increased M&A activity in 2025, particularly with the potential for interest rate cuts in the US, which could act as a catalyst for private equity deals.
