—————————————————————
In the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley, a growing number of U.S. venture-backed start-ups are turning to alternative capital markets in London (AIM), Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo (MOTHERS) for their initial public offerings. Last year, 42 companies from the United States floated shares on AIM (Alternative Investment Market). In many cases, these markets offer a less-regulated marketplace with lower costs and lower revenue thresholds for listing than the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Is the US missing out on the next IPO boom? What are the pros and cons for listing overseas? Are we truly operating in a global marketplace where it makes sense for Silicon Valley-based start-ups to venture abroad for their listings? Who stands to benefit or lose if IPOs go global?
