This report, published by the BVCA and PwC, provides an historic analysis of private equity-backed IPOs in the UK between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2017. It looks at a number of metrics including the use of proceeds, pricing and performance to build a picture of the IPO market and the key trends with the market. The performance numbers are particularly revealing as they show that private equity-backed IPOs are trading on average 43.9% higher than their offer price for the period from IPO to 31 December 2017 compared to the non-private equity-backed IPOs of the same period which are trading at an average of 26.6% higher.
