Independent Sponsor Finance: An Emerging Asset Class 

Join ACG Maryland for a breakfast panel exploring the evolving world of independent sponsor finance and its growing role in the middle-market M&A landscape.

As independent sponsors continue to pursue opportunities outside the traditional private equity model, new financing strategies and capital sources are emerging to support their transactions. Our panel of industry experts will discuss the current market, how independent sponsor deals are being financed, what lenders and investors are looking for, and the opportunities and challenges shaping this growing segment.

Moderated by Stephanie McAlaine, SBIA

Join us at The Maryland Club for breakfast, conversation, and insights from leaders active in this evolving area of middle-market finance.
