A good year for offerings and IPOs, 2015 saw 2,965.1 offerings and 15 IPOs. As businesses usually go public in the hope of expanding, it’s a sign that markets are looking to grow.
Offering sizes dropped considerably, but a rise in IPOs show considerable investment potential and interest in more companies exploring expansion opportunities. The size of offering coupled with a rise in IPO suggests greater growth from smaller companies and more startups.
Another good year, 2017 almost reached the dizzying heights of 2015 in terms of offering sizes. Once again, the Insurtech market ratches up its expansion plans as 18 IPOs are floated on the global stock exchange.
