$2.7 trillion of capital raised since 2020 in North America
Equity markets – and equity investors – have shown incredible resilience in 2026. We have managed to compartmentalize both sector-specific and global macro shocks unlike ever before, and the re-opening of the IPO market amidst this backdrop has been encouraging. Investor engagement is as strong as we have seen in years, with institutional buyers demonstrating genuine appetite for differentiated stories and companies with durable growth characteristics. For companies with the right fundamentals – appropriate scale, credible growth trajectories, and management teams prepared for public company rigor – the window is open.

The Equity-Linked Market is on pace for a record year in 2026 in terms of issuance volumes. Cap Ex spend around AI is driving much of the volumes with data centers, power companies, hyperscalers etc all accessing the market to diversify their funding tools. Valuations in the convertible market are incredibly robust with convertible indices materially outpacing equity market returns, driven (in large part) by elevated volatility. Investor appetite for the product remains very strong.
