Odd Lots · Scott Bok on How Bankers Spread the Gospel of Capitalism · 19 May 2025 podcast

And I think if you start to think broadly as a government, you could convince yourself that in almost every industry you'd like to have some of your own capability.

Or bananas.

These are the big questions.

We love guacamole in this country.

We did our own avocados.

Yes, a lot uh almost really all the MA advisory boutiques really added restructuring capability because you figured out pretty early that when MA is really slow, there's a lot of restructuring to be done.

This cycle, though, I'm not sure that it necessarily shifts into a lot of restructuring, because it's not like the economy is that bad.

Now, maybe it gets there, of course, but I think you know, you're what you're seeing in the statistics year to date, certainly, is that there has been considerably less MA.

I mean, somebody told

Me, the last month, some data was showing that it's like the slowest month in, you know, in many, many years.

And so I think we're not yet in a period, I don't think, of deglobalization, but we certainly are on the brink of one.

And if the tariffs, you know, really got solidified at significant levels, I think that would perhaps create some MA opportunities.

I don't think as many as under the the under the old religion of free trade and shareholder value.

But I think it'll create some.

I mean, you'll need, you know, European companies that sell in the US might think, okay, we need to have manufacturing capability in the US to service that.

And like vice versa, US into Europe and US into other parts of the world as well.

So there's always as an MA banker, what again, whatever the rules are, you can find deals that make sense.

The thing is right now, people don't know what the rules are, so they can't quite do that.

Uh certainly the Rolodex or the electronic equivalent thereof is is very, very important.
