The case marks the second one this month involving the newly acquired IBD.

The U.S. Private Equity Access Fund Platform includes 33 offerings and more than 7,000 domestic and international investors.

The impact of a possible stock market decline, benefits of firm size and the breakaway phenomenon were debated at the Deals & Deal Makers conference.

Buyers have big M&A advantage; many sellers stuck in 'the valley of doom,' advisors are told at Deals & Deal Makers Summit.

The market is estimated to be worth over $8 trillion in the U.S. alone.

Bill Morrissey, who is leading the effort, described the firm's rapid, multipronged approach.
