是否应该让零售投资者获得更多访问IPO信息?

在上周的参议院银行小组委员会的听证会上,讨论了散户投资者是否应该获得更多访问IPO信息的话题,以使机构和普通投资者的首次公开发行流程进行讨论。听证会的原因之一是要查看涉及几周前纳斯达克开放的Facebook(FB)IPO的问题。

There are some who believe that the social networking giant’s underwriters gave favored clients negative material information prior to the offering while leaving other investors out in the cold. Soon after trading began, Facebook shares declined sharply. At the hearing, Securities Subcommittee chairman Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) spoke about the need to make sure that ordinary investors and sophisticated investors are subject to the same rules, including providing everyone with access to the same disclosures and data (or, at the very least, equivalent versions of both).

DePaul University Finance教授Ann Sherman,在支持散户投资者更多获取有关IPO的信息的证人中。她建议让发行人在线发布至少两次Q和IPO路展览会,以便散户投资者将获得与通常参加一次此类会议的典型机构投资者相同的信息。尽管她承认有合理的理由可以限制倾向于“投机性”的分析师预测,但她说,立法者应该将这些数据提供给任何人或所有人。

Meantime, although Class V Group LLC principal and founder Lisa Buyer also said that posting Q & A sessions online would benefit retail investors, she noted that it would be “difficult” to ensure that the information was distributed equally. Both Buyer and Sherman, however, warned against giving retail investors a greater role in IPOs as it relates to the setting of price. Sherman argued that as a group, regular retail investors might not be able to fulfill the same role as institutional ones. She spoke about how any regulatory changes implemented so that greater retail investor participation can take place should consider such differences.

讨论的另一个主题是“我们的业务初创公司法案”。里德参议员表示担心最近制定的立法可能会损害参加IPO的普通投资者。该法规为符合新兴增长公司定义的发行人建立了IPO邮政信箱,从而使后者暂时豁免了上市公司通常必须给出的全部披露。里德(Reed)担心,允许EGC在公开申请之前与SEC进行机密草案登记声明,直到“在此过程中很晚”制定机密性,这将阻碍确保投资者获得信息的过程。
