A surge of initial public offering (IPO) listings could take place in the US over the coming months following a pick-up in equity markets at the end of the first quarter. It comes after the US IPO market experienced its slowest first three months of the year since the financial crisis and could be good news for exchange traded fund investors who can gain exposure to the market through a variety of funds. IPO activity from January to the end of March dropped by more than 75% year-on-year, while total proceeds raised were at their lowest first quarter in over 20 years.
