  • TRAINING and EDUCATION MARKET UPDATE | COVID-19 Houlihan Lokey Training and Education Market Update
    TRAINING AND EDUCATION MARKET UPDATE | COVID-19 Houlihan Lokey Training and Education Market Update The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a global health emergency and sent financial markets into a frenzy. Houlihan Lokey presents an initial assessment of the impact on the training and education industry Select Sector Observations In recent weeks, COVID-19 (or, the “coronavirus”) has globally sent shock waves through markets and captured the attention of the world. Since mid-February, the SELECT outbreak has accelerated and infections have become widespread, resulting in HOULIHAN LOKEY significant market volatility that is expected to continue in the near term.

  • Investment Banking and Capital Markets Sector
    Financial Institutions Group Investment Banking and Capital Markets Sector U.S. MARKET UPDATE SUMMER 2021 Introduction: U.S. Investment Banking and Capital Markets Sector Houlihan Lokey’s Financial Institutions Group (FIG) is excited to release the inaugural edition of a new report on the U.S. investment banking and capital markets sector. Our report comes during a particularly dynamic period in the industry. While the volatility and turbulence of 2020 created a polarized environment of “winners and losers,” virtually all segments of the market are now experiencing strong performance. For the first time in years, M&A fee pools are up Y/Y in every sector. Growth has been fueled by pent-up 2020 demand now being unleashed, the specter of capital gains tax increases and a generally bullish backdrop of record stock prices and inexpensive debt financing. SPACs completely transformed the investment banking landscape, providing a boon to bulge-bracket underwriting desks and emerging as a buyer of choice for private assets. 571 SPACs launched IPOs in the last year, representing 60% of all IPO capital raised, and steered by everyone from Bill Ackman to Colin Kaepernick. Regardless of whether proposed regulatory reform materializes, hundreds of SPACs will be seeking and consummating transactions over the next couple of years. Just as pandemic-driven volatility was unwinding and trading volumes were beginning to decelerate, retail traders reasserted themselves as forces in the secondary market. As GameStop stock topped $400 in late January, market-wide daily equity trading volumes overtook records set at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. Volumes have once again begun settling, but new product origination and new ways for traders to access the market should create a longer-term lift for brokers, market-makers, exchanges, and technology providers.

  • Show Me the Money | European Bank Npls (Non-Performing Loans)
    SHOW ME THE MONEY EUROPEAN BANK NPLs (NON-PERFORMING LOANS) The European NPL market is benefiting from strong demand originating from a narrow pool of buyers and abundant liquidity. As we witness regime change in global monetary conditions, what strategies should you adopt to be resilient to volatility? Concerns around high non-performing loans (NPLs) at eurozone banks have persisted so long that one might be excused for thinking all aspects of NPLs have been covered by market commentators. However, framing the value of NPLs across different asset classes European NPL and countries remains a relative conundrum. The stock of NPLs and non-core assets stock alone at European banks remains stubbornly high, albeit with material variances across EU stands at around countries. European NPL stock alone stands around €900 billion with non-core asset stock aggregating an additional approximate €1.1 trillion. €900 billion with In this paper, we attempt to consider factors impacting the forward-looking valuation of non-core asset NPLs, including (i) the steps that European banks might take to mitigate against diminished stock aggregating or more selective buyer appetite in the future, (ii) how these banks might reduce their an additional counterparty dependency through accelerating access to a broader and larger secondary market, and (iii) key ingredients for forging an ecosystem that prioritises standardisation approximate and resilience to macro stress. €1.1 trillion. Sources: IMF, ECB 1 Valuation, Rising Rates, and Monetary Policy Considerations Eurozone NPLs require new valuation considerations, which has implications for large holders of NPLs—and banks in particular. This view stems from the belief that pricing NPLs based on absolute value can be misleading.

This report comes at a most exciting time for Houlihan Lokey, our clients, our employees, and our society. At Houlihan Lokey, our unwavering commitments to ethical behavior, community involvement, charitable giving, environmental stewardship, diversity, inclusion, and good governance have been the foundation of our success, and the success of our clients, throughout the firm’s history.

Under the leadership of our board of directors, the Office of the Executives has worked with a talented group of employees and outside experts to compile this Sustainability Report.
