Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Expansion of the Private Funds Advisory Group into Europe demonstrates Lincoln International's commitment to growing its global footprint and service offerings.
  • The consistent growth of the Lincoln Private Market Index (LPMI) highlights the firm's ability to deliver stable and reliable financial performance, even in volatile markets.
  • The addition of multiple Managing Directors across various regions and sectors indicates a strong focus on leadership and expertise, which can drive further growth and client trust.

What critics are saying

  • The mid-market focus may limit Lincoln International's ability to compete for larger, more lucrative deals that are typically handled by bigger investment banks.
  • The firm's heavy reliance on cross-border M&A deals could expose it to geopolitical risks and regulatory changes that may impact deal flow.

What makes Lincoln International unique

  • Lincoln International's unique positioning as the only truly international, integrated, independent mid-market investment bank sets it apart from competitors who may lack one or more of these attributes.
  • Their global culture and shared economics model ensure seamless collaboration across borders, unlike firms that operate in regional silos.
  • The Lincoln Private Market Index (LPMI) offers a unique metric for tracking the enterprise value of U.S. privately held companies, providing insights that are not available from other indices.
