60 Seconds With Swett: Assessing Industry Sentiment at ASHA and eCap

60 Seconds With Swett: Assessing Industry Sentiment at ASHA and eCap

It was great to see so many in the industry in Scottsdale last week at ASHA’s annual meeting, but we can’t say the mood was as positive. Some industry veterans didn’t sugarcoat it and commented to us that we are in the most difficult operating environment they have ever seen. Tough to argue with that. Then you had dealmakers fresh off of a myriad of deals postponed, terminated or re-traded, with only a tiny fraction of transactions closing without issues. Then you have other problems like soaring property insurance costs that can throw a wrench in a deal, to put it mildly, and will be a bigger issue when the time comes for hundreds of properties to renew their policies. We will dive deeper... Read More »
