Why IPOs are becoming more scarce


And now in countries like Malaysia, the good news is that licensed platforms are affording the public to participate in equity crowd-funding and peer-to-peer lending options. There is also the Leap Market in which companies not quite ready for a full blown listing are able to get listed.

INCREASINGLY, initial public offerings (IPOs) are becoming more scarce. And when they do take place, they are less attractive.

One obvious reason is the preponderance of private capital in the market.
