When I talk with clients about the state of today’s market, many of them say the single greatest obstacle to dealmaking is uncertainty.

It’s not just climbing inflation or interest rates. It’s not the war in Europe or supply chain disruptions or any of the other macro risks in the headlines. It’s the overriding question of when it all will end and where the economy will land.
