The Annual M&A Breakfast: Looking Back at 2025 — Setting the Pace for 2026
London, WC2A 3ED
As firms prepare for 2026, this invitation-only PIMFA M&A Breakfast — headline sponsored by SEI and supported by contributing sponsors Square 4 and Farrer & Co — brings together senior executives from both acquiring and selling firms to reflect on lessons from the past year and explore the emerging deal drivers, risks, and opportunities shaping the next wave of consolidation.
Hosted at Farrer & Co, this high-level session combines concise expert briefings with a Chatham House Rule roundtable discussion, providing leaders with the opportunity to exchange real-world insights, benchmark strategies, and help shape the direction of M&A in wealth and advice for the year ahead.
Key themes we’ll explore:
- 2025 in review: What really drove deal flow, valuations, and integration outcomes.
- 2026 outlook: Pipeline health, financing conditions, diligence hot-spots, culture/people risks, and the regulatory & legal horizon.
- Insight: What acquirers will pay for (and walk away from) in 2026.
