Nicholas Usher Discusses U.S. Alternatives Managers’ Interest in European Investments with FundFire
Winston & Strawn London Office Managing Partner Nicholas Usher was quoted in a FundFire article discussing European investments, the challenges that might arise from firms branching out from the U.S. to Europe, and how investing in Europe is different than investing in the U.S. United States-based alternatives managers are looking at dealmaking in Europe as a viable investment, due in part to optimism around a relatively steadier capital-raising environment in Europe and what appears to be greater deal activity in key sectors, including the European defense industry, but these opportunities require a high level of commitment from U.S. fund managers to ensure their European investments succeed.
