Q1 2019 SPAC Underwriting League Tables
Below are the recently released Q1 2019 SPAC IPO Underwriting League Tables
Methodology:
In addition to the traditional methodology used whereby any bookrunner or lead manager gets full credit for IPO size to calculate deal volume, starting last quarter we added two new columns to the rankings – volume by number of units sold and volume sold % market shares (highlighted in green). For example, if SPAC-XYZ raised $500 million at IPO, and underwriter A sold $400 million of the same deal and underwriter B sold only $100 million, that’s how they will be credited. This methodology gives a more accurate window into the actual deal volume.
