Our 2025 PE Value Creation Index has a number of interesting findings, amongst them the following: U.S. portfolio company investors still lean on M&A far more than their European peers as a source of value creation. Given Europe’s urgent need to scale up to better compete, this gap may not last. My 30-second clip breaks it down.

So the 2025 FT IP value creation survey is out and one of the interesting findings around M&A is that American companies are much more likely to use M&A as portfolio companies than their European counterparts. I do think though that we're going to see this change for two reasons. One, there's just a lot of smaller mid market companies in Europe and then there's definitely a need for European companies to bulk up and get bigger to better compete with their American counterparts.
