Retail investors win a seat at the IPO table
Original: Big companies used to treat retail investors as an afterthought—now, they are at the IPO table
Fortune reports that large companies increasingly court retail investors ahead of their initial public offerings, a shift from the old practice of reserving shares almost exclusively for institutional buyers. Companies are treating individual investors as a meaningful constituency, allocating them IPO allocations and outreach that would once have gone only to funds and banks.
Why now: Renewed IPO activity and companies' efforts to build retail shareholder bases have put individual investors at the center of market debate.
