BGL Managing Director and Head of Services and Infrastructure Effram Kaplan joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss dealmaking activity projected for 2025.

"From an administrative perspective, we're quite optimistic about the market," Kaplan tells Yahoo Finance, referring to President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration.

Kaplan highlights several positive factors: First, he notes that the regulatory environment will likely create more opportunities for deals, saying, "We're excited about that." Second, he points to an expected decrease in interest rates and a favorable tax policy environment. However, he cautions that proposed tariffs could impact M&A (mergers an acquisitions) activity.

According to Kaplan, certain sectors could particularly benefit from a second Trump administration, including services, private capital markets, infrastructure, energy, and Big Tech.

"Overall, we're excited about the incoming administration and believe it's going to be positive for the market," he tells Yahoo Finance.
