M&A ADVISORY: MARKET MONITOR
See the deals that fit your thesis before they consume your team's time.
Crescent Market Monitor is a middle-market deal-flow subscription for private equity firms, family offices, and strategic acquirers. Crescent combines opportunities sourced through its network of M&A advisors, intermediaries, and referral partners with active-market intelligence, then filters the resulting flow against your investment criteria. The result is a concise, current view of the processes that merit attention.
THE PROBLEM
Sorting the market is where partner time goes.
Your team already has access to information. What it may lack is a reliable way to stay connected to the advisors and intermediaries who are bringing opportunities to market, determine which active situations deserve partner time, and identify the right contact when an opportunity merits action.
Crescent Market Monitor combines deal flow shared through our network of M&A advisors, intermediaries, and referral partners with a disciplined review of the active market. We organize that flow around your investment thesis, highlight the most relevant situations, and provide the context your team needs to decide whether to engage.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE

| Thesis-based filtering | Opportunities are screened against your preferred sectors, size range, geography, transaction type, and platform or add-on criteria. |

HOW IT WORKS
Designed to complement your internal deal team.
- 01
We align on your mandate
Crescent begins with a focused discussion of your target sectors, transaction size, investment criteria, ownership preferences, and disqualifiers.
The result is a practical screen built around the opportunities your team is most likely to pursue.
- 02
We source and curate the relevant market
Crescent receives and reviews opportunities through its network of M&A advisors, intermediaries, and referral partners, while monitoring the active market for relevant processes. We distinguish the situations that appear relevant from those that do not.
Your monitor is organized so your team can make decisions from it.
- 03
You decide where to engage
Your team receives an actionable view of the market, including the highest-priority opportunities and the appropriate selling-agent contact.
If a deal warrants further support, Crescent can be engaged under a separate worked-deal engagement.
WHY CRESCENT
A recurring market view and a channel to the intermediary.
Crescent Market Monitor is built for investors that want better visibility into advisor- and intermediary-sourced opportunities, as well as the active market, without committing to an enterprise data platform or a broad buy-side sourcing mandate. It gives your team a focused, recurring market view and a relationship-based channel to relevant market participants at a clear monthly cost.
Crescent applies its advisor and intermediary relationships so your team spends its time on the opportunities most likely to fit your strategy.
Crescent does not represent that every opportunity is proprietary, exclusive, or transaction-ready. What Crescent provides is partner-network deal flow, disciplined curation, market context, and access to the relevant intermediary. The subscription is not a static spreadsheet.
THE NETWORK BEHIND IT
The same relationships, worked as a mandate.
The monitor is a recurring view of the market. Where an investor wants a proprietary search run against a written mandate, with owners approached directly rather than waited for, that is the business development practice and it is a separate engagement.

Crescent Market Monitor gives your team a current, partner-network-sourced and actively curated view of middle-market transactions aligned with your acquisition strategy.
