Capital Markets: Renewed Momentum, Overlooked Opportunities

Video

After several quieter years, signs of renewed momentum are emerging in capital markets. Companies are showing greater interest in the IPO process, while M&A activity is recycling capital into new growth opportunities. For investors willing to look beyond the largest businesses, this changing environment may offer access to high-quality companies with room to grow.

In this episode, Herman Levett, CFO at BioVersys AG, Patrick Loepfe, Founder & Chairman of GenTwo, and Leti McManus, CFA, of CUTISS AG share their perspectives on the changing market landscape. They discuss the strength of the entrepreneurial environment, the opportunities for companies seeking capital and why greater flexibility around company size could help investors uncover overlooked businesses.
