Just launched: BCG’s M&A Sentiment Index—a monthly pulse check on dealmakers' willingness to engage in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures over roughly the next six months. For the first time, decision-makers in corporations, private equity firms, and investment banks have a quantified and statistically reliable indication of where the M&A market is heading. The index’s interactive features allow users to view sentiment globally, as well as across individual regions and sectors. Leaders can now use the index, along with BCG’s proprietary insights on deal drivers and trends, to make informed judgments about the M&A market’s trajectory in the near to medium term. Step into the future of M&A and see what the index score is telling us today: https://lnkd.in/dNjUqd9N

The challenges the FTSE100 has experienced in attracting IPO's and investments, and it's overall underperformance in recent times has been well covered, but it's interesting to see it also reflected in a low overall Reputation. Whilst the industry types do have an influence on Reputation, in almost all cases, there are some companies with very strong Reputations, and others with very low Reputations. In other words, it is possible to have a strong Reputation, regardless of the industry you are in. As detailed previously, strong and visible leadership is an important ingredient in that, as is a clear purpose, strong community/societal impact, and relevant, good value products.
