Markets are moving quickly once again.
On Wednesday September 16, The Hut Group (THG), an online seller of beauty and nutrition products that also helps other companies sell fast-moving consumer goods direct to consumers, completed the biggest UK IPO for five years.
It raised close to £1.9 billion in a sale of primary shares to fund the company’s growth as well as secondary shares from early private equity backers, including KKR, looking to realise gains.
It is the largest technology company IPO ever in the UK and it attracted US technology investors more used to dealing on Nasdaq than on the standard segment of the London Stock Exchange.
