Chart of the Week: Big Valuations, Smaller Impact

Upcoming mega-IPOs have attracted significant investor interest, but we think the quality and quantity of issuance will be manageable for markets. Although these companies have large total market capitalizations, they are only expected to list a small proportion of their shares (“floating” less than 10%). As the hypothetical example demonstrates, small floats are likely to result in fairly low index weights, which may limit the potential selling pressure on existing index constituents as well as concentration risk.
