Summary: Three IPOs in Saudi Arabia and one in Syria raised a total of US$871.
IPOs will get bigger in part because of a rush by private equity firms, made hopeful by the successful IPO by Avago, owned partly by Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts & Co,, to sell off large portfolio companies.
We also find that mutual IPOs appear more underpriced than stock insurance IPOs, but this difference is related to the differences in pre-issue managerial ownership.
