Deal horizon

The phrase deal horizon is a financial services industry term that refers to the period bounded by the current time and the expected closing date of a proposed transaction, or group of transactions.
Example 1.: "These powerful rights are of central importance to the junior secured lender and, given the comparatively shorter deal horizon relative to mezzanine lenders, highlight the key distinguishing feature between junior secured and mezzanine lenders: the means to influence a deal's destiny."
Example 2: "In this podcast, Ken Hitchner, partner, global head of healthcare investment banking, Goldman Sachs; John Leone, partner, Paul Capital Healthcare; and David Wales, deputy director, Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission weigh in on the deal horizon."
Example 3: "Also on the deal horizon for the rest of 2009 will be a few large, bellwether transactions orchestrated by adventurous dealmakers willing to operate in a very high risk, high reward M&A environment, where rigorous due diligence will undoubtedly be integral."
