Inflation and debt costs are trending downward, offering a more favorable outlook. However, some sectors face an economic slowdown, making selectivity key to closing deals, achieving exits, and securing investments. Providing flexibility through unitranche facilities and capital structure products can equip funds and entrepreneurs to manage volatility over the next 18-24 months, helping them remain resilient and pursue inorganic growth. Yesterday, Roberto Ippolito, Managing Director and Head of Investment Team at Clessidra Private Debt, shared our vision at the Mergermarket Private Equity and M&A Forum Italy 2024 on how our sector trends will shape the next 12 months and the key strategies to move forward. #ClessidraGroup #PrivateDebt #MergersAndAcquisitions

Candy Factory was born in 2022 from the integration of two historic confectionery companies, Casa Del Dolce Spa and LIKING S.P.A., via a joint deal between Clessidra Capital Credit, FVS SGR Spa and the reinvestment of the entrepreneurs of the two companies. The goal was to bring together leading Italian businesses and drive international expansion. We’ve already taken a significant step with the acquisition of Akellas, and its globally renowned balsamic candy brand, Monk's. This strategic move has expanded Candy Factory’s product portfolio and enhanced its global presence.   #ClessidraGroup #ClessidraCapitalCredit #CandyFactory #Confectionery
