Although the average initial return was positive (11.4%), it was significantly smaller than for other IPOs (14.5%). These results may support theories that PE/VC funds reduce information asymmetry between IPO investors and pre-IPO owners of the company or certification role of the PE/VC funds. At the same time our data do not give any evidence for the grandstanding or spin… Show more

“…This is understandable, as exiting shareholders are keen for the valuation of the shares and the offer price to be as high as possible. This is confirmed, among other things, by empirical studies on the level of underpricing of IPOs carried out as part of venture capital fund divestments, which indicate its lower level compared to other IPOs (Megginson & Weiss, 1991;Barry et al, 1990;Sieradzki & Zasępa, 2016;Rzewuska & Wrzesiński, 2016;Zasępa, 2019).
