After the unprecedented success of the 1st & 2nd editions, we expect that the 3rd edition will exceed expectations. Our objective continues to be the provision of a forum where serious discourse can take place on the various aspects of this uniquely specialized, extremely important and thoroughly interesting topic of Mergers & Acquisitions. We aim to discuss threadbare most of the headline transactions that have taken place in the recent past and give potential buyers and sellers the ideas, tools, and methodologies to carry out successful M&A deals.
We will discuss international best practices, regulatory regimes, the role of advisors and postmerger challenges & solutions in the light of the latest industry developments. During times of economic hardship, it makes good sense to close ranks and join forces in an effort to arrest and reverse the slide and boost business activity. In troublesome times such as these that Pakistan is transitioning through M&A makes for good business sense, so here were are with the 3rd Edition of the Pakistan Mergers & Acquisitions Conference with great new insights from Industry leaders awaiting your pleasure and profit. Please mark your diaries. We look forward to welcoming you to an event that you cannot afford to miss.

How to Value Any Company in the World
AS SIMPLE, YET COMPLETE AS VALUATION CAN BE
Learn a structured framework to value any company in the world. Quickly analyze a company’s value, reduce valuation errors, and save time.
Andrew Stotz, PhD, CFA is an awardwinning stock market analyst who had 20 years on the clock at investment banks before starting A. Stotz Investment Research, a stock selection and fund advisory firm in Asia. He is the current CFA Society Thailand president.
At the crossroads of corporate strategy and finance lies valuation. Companies create value by investing capital to generate future cash flows at rates of return that exceed their cost of capital. The faster they can grow and deploy more capital at attractive rates of return, the more value they create. The mix of growth and return on invested capital relative to the cost of capital is what drives the creation of value.
In this engaging, one-day workshop, participants will learn how to quickly analyze and value more companies to reach investment decisions faster.
Business owners, CEOs, MDs, CXOs, financial analysts, fund managers, portfolio managers, and anyone else interested to learn about valuation
Group discussions, real-life case-studies, exercises, videos

Very timely and comprehensive conference when a chain of M&A activities are on the go.

My compliments to team TerraBiz for organizing 1st M&A conference. It was extremely well organized, very much on time and most interesting point that quality of speakers & panelists was extremely good. They were from top of the field from financial world, legal world, advisory as well as the chartered accounting firms so there was a lot of learning. I want to say if there is similar conference again, I would very much like to spend the whole day.
