Abstract:

The global capital markets systems have experienced a crisis like no other. The need for market reform is great - but what shape will reform take, and what can we learn from the recent market turmoil and from nearly two decades of IPO history?

Over the last several years, the IPO market in the United States has practically disappeared. Just 12 companies went public in the United States in the first half of 2009, and only eight of them were U.S. companies. Is the U.S. IPO market going through a cyclical downturn exacerbated by the recent credit crisis, or is today's market structure failing the IPO?

In Market structure is causing the IPO crisis, Grant Thornton LLP explores the history of the IPO market, what led to this crisis, and ideas for a new, opt-in stock market capable of reinvigorating the U.S. IPO market.
