(A pot of) Gold is at a record high for St. Patrick’s Day! Postinaugural policy uncertainty has triggered market fluctuations and concerns about a weakening U.S. economy. Despite a risk-off environment, it doesn’t take the luck of the Irish to get a deal done; it takes careful planning, expert positioning, and a highly experienced advisor to navigate these waters. Capital remains out there, and there is no better time than now to strengthen your balance sheet.
- Market Volatility – Investors are glued to the news feed, planning for the worst. Addressing operational contingency plans that account for policy shifts will be critical during investor diligence.
- Credit Spreads – Risk premia are rising, particularly in the lower end of the market. Locking in attractive rates today will help manage cash flow tomorrow.
- Capital Availability – Despite lower deal volumes, investors have significant capital to deploy. That said, the bar keeps rising, driving the need for pinpoint positioning.
