Why it Matters

A $2.7B carve-out in wealth management and an €870m French towers deal set the tone, while quantum/semis financing continued with a $320m raise for IQM. Distressed industrials stayed active in DACH, and we captured multiple new adviser details across previously spotted transactions.
