Disciplined mindset and risk appetite in IPOs

The podcast highlights that companies and investors are approaching IPOs more pragmatically and with discipline in the current market. This mindset is a reflection of the challenging macro backdrop and high rate environment. According to a survey of equity market investors, more than 50% of respondents have a high or very high risk appetite for IPOs and new equity issuances. This suggests a positive sentiment and interest in equity capital markets despite the ongoing high interest rate environment. It is noted that companies with strong performance and ample access to the markets have favorable timing opportunities for IPOs.
