Abstract:

Some market watchers have raised concerns that the U.S. might be losing its competitive edge as the leading source for raising capital globally. Some point to the number of non-U.S. cross-border issues listed away from the U.S. as an indicator of this perceived waning.

In fact, history has shown that companies have long sought to list their IPOs in their own backyard – and today that trend continues at a substantial pace, particularly here in the U.S. itself. The decisions to list on home markets are driven less by concerns about the U.S. regulatory environment, and more by the strengthening of local market economies enjoying robust gains and stability. This true “globalization” of capital has led to stronger, more liquid, competitive markets worldwide. A U.S. listing is still seen as the gold standard providing access to the deepest pool of capital, a valuation premium, and strategic advantages in the global markets.
