Country specific or pan-European?
Article Abstract:
Investment companies, operating on a pan-European basis, may find it preferable to use pan-European funds particularly for very large transactions. But the countries within Europe remain very different. Funds which are specific to one country may be preferable for smaller acquisitions. Deals involving smaller companies often require local knowledge. Some companies may choose to build relationships with local investment companies in the countries they do not operate, in order to allow them to undertake deals in other countries.
