Global IPO market

- The global financial crisis led to a dramatic decline in global IPO’s in 2008 with a 61% decline in deal numbers and 67% decline in funds raised
- Low valuations, market volatility and low investor confidence led to many companies withdrawing or postponing their IPO
- However, there are early signs of recovery with a latent pipeline of companies still keen to raise new funding and release shareholder equity

Our IPO calendar indicates over 150 IPO’s with >$50mn proceeds to come to market in the next 6-12 months

Product proposition

- Given the scale and disparate nature of the non-US IPO market, it is difficult for a fund manager to effectively track and review global IPO’s and determine if further research is warranted
- Language barriers often constrain fund managers’ access to potential global IPO’s
- A screening process is also required to identify which IPO’s are relevant. Most IPO’s do not warrant significant institutional investor attention as the size of the fundraisings are below $50mn. We will only focus on IPO’s where the proceeds are >$50mn
