The 2026 Private Capital Outlook: An Executive Roundtable
The decisions facing PE firms, family offices, business owners, and investment bankers in 2026 are anything but straightforward. Join us for a two-episode roundtable where our panelists examine the forces reshaping deals, capital allocation, and the broader economy and answer your questions.
Episode 1 | M&A in 2026: Navigating a Complex World
Tuesday, May 12, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
The M&A landscape in 2026 is being reshaped by tariff policy, record levels of PE dry powder, a narrowing but persistent buyer-seller valuation gap, and a regulatory environment in flux. Experienced buyers, sellers, and capital allocators are adapting their approach to structure, diligence, and strategy in real time. Our panel, representing the perspectives of an M&A deal lawyer, a transactional tax advisor, and a family office private advisor, will share actionable intelligence on where the opportunities lie, what the risks demand, and how sophisticated investors are navigating it all.
Episode 2 | Thinking Through Uncertainty: Technology, Global Dynamics, and the Private Capital Outlook
Tuesday, May 19, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
Artificial intelligence is simultaneously transforming how deals are sourced, evaluated, and valued — and creating an entirely new class of investment opportunity. At the same time, global dynamics and energy supply changes are forcing capital allocators to rethink portfolio construction, risk budgeting, and the role of real assets. Our panel will assess where these forces are creating opportunity, where they're creating exposure, and what sophisticated families and institutions are doing about it.
