Basis of preparationThe Global IPO Watch analyses IPO and FO trends on a quarterly basis, both at a global and regional level. It is based on data extracted from Dealogic, whereby only transactions with a minimum of $5 million money raised have been included. Transaction proceeds include the overallotment option (if exercised). The data excludes PIPO’s and transactions on Over-The-Counter exchanges. In case IPOs or FOs take place on two or more exchanges, the full amount of money raised is attributed to all exchanges. The same applies to countries and regions. This does not apply to two exchanges within the same country or two countries within the same region. Country indicates the company’s country of domicile. Industry classification is based on the FTSE Russell Industry Classification Benchmark. Index performance is based on pricing data extracted from Bloomberg.

Overview of global IPO and FO activity
Q4 2018Global IPO Watch
5
• In Q4 2018, 284 IPOs raised $56.1bn. This
represents a decrease of 17% in terms of proceeds
and a 35% drop in the number of deals compared to
last year. For the year as a whole, IPO proceeds
increased by 6% even as the number of transactions
fell by 23%.
• Pricing was more volatile in 2018, as the share of
transactions pricing within their initial pricing range
dropped to a multi-year low.
• The post-IPO performance of 2018 IPOs is lower
than in 2017 as equity markets fell and the share of
historically outperforming Chinese IPOs dropped.

Overview of IPO and FO activity in Asia-Pacific
Q4 2018Global IPO Watch
26
• In Q4 2018, 172 IPOs raised $32.0bn, representing
an increase of 10% in terms of proceeds but a 34%
drop in the number of deals in 2018. Proceeds rose
mainly because of the jumbo SoftBank IPO. A large
privatisation wave in Vietnam can support IPO
activity in the region in the years to come.
• In terms of FOs, both proceeds and the number of
transactions fell in 2018.
• Indian stock indices shrugged off the global
downward trend, as the SENSEX closed the year in
positive territory.
