About
After a deal boom saw bankers and investors cash in last year, the M&A tide shows signs of turning. But are there still bargains to pick up for investors? And who should they turn to find them? Malik Karim, the founder of Fenchurch Advisory Partners, one of the City's most influential deals boutiques, and former Conservative Party treasurer, discusses with Financial News why his firm is opening an office in the US, the financial sectors that are most ripe for takeovers, how to attract talented bankers and the way investors can navigate the current market turmoil.
