Who Really Gets the Biggest Piece of an IPO?

When a company goes public, the shares on day one don’t mostly go to the average American. Large IPO allocations go to major institutions and private equity funds, and the pre-existing shareholders tend to be the founders and early private equity investors.

A smaller slice goes to smaller investors like TTI and its partners, which put deals together and invest in companies before the IPO. That raises the real question: what opportunities exist before the IPO?

Key points

  • Big IPO allocations go to institutions and private equity funds.
  • Founders and early investors already hold large stakes before the IPO.
  • Smaller groups like TTI get a slice by investing before the IPO.
