US bourses dominate in IPO listings, despite Ant's record public offer

The US markets have been the biggest venues for IPOs this year, despite Ant Group’s record $34.4-billion IPO.

In terms of the amount mobilised, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq occupy the top two positions, with proceeds of $70.2 billion and $60.4 billion, respectively.

Hong Kong, where Ant mobilised $17.2 billion, is third while Shanghai’s SSE STR MK, where the firm raised $19.7 billion, is fourth — shows Refinitiv data.
