What’s your perspective on the current market trends, and how do you see them impacting M&A activity over the rest of the year? I was pretty bullish until recently.

For sure, things felt more promising a little while ago. With interest rates rising and some economic uncertainty, it seems like M&A activity might slow down in the short term. Companies are probably going to be more cautious, but there could still be strategic deals in the mix. TBD I guess.

The regulators have said that they are going to keep the same policy when it comes to M&A activity. This is the opposite of what the Trump Administration wants, as they would prefer it to be fast and loose. Unless Trump can find a way to shake things up at the regulating agencies, which I bet is top of mind, the prospects look pretty bleak.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?
