• Cornerstone Investors and Initial Public Offerings On the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong had an exuberant year in 2006 when it listed sixty-two companies. The listing of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited on its Main Board earned the exchange the enviable status of being home to the world's largest initial public offering. The HK$333.2 billion in initial public offering capital raised during the year propelled it to the position of second among global exchanges, behind London but ahead of New York. This Article examines an increasingly common feature of initial public offerings in Hong Kong, namely, the introduction of "cornerstone investors" whose participation enhances the general receptiveness to a stock offering.

• Shariah-Compliant Corporate Finance Forges Ahead

While the initial wave of modern Islamic banking focused on the retail side of the business, investment banks are the new trailblazers. US and European banks are bidding for Shariah-compliant tranches of major financings to repackage as investment funds. Meanwhile, the oil-rich countries of the Middle East offer a pool of liquidity that is a big draw for financiers and companies seeking to raise capital. Dubai Ports World's takeover of UK-based port operator P&O last year was financed in part with Islamic "bonds," or sukuk, that were oversubscribed more than four times, receiving a total of $11.4 billion in bids. Saudi Arabia is swarming with investment bankers who are eager to bring to market the next batch of initial public offerings to deepen the Saudi stock market. While oil is ...

The move accelerates a trend of stock exchanges becoming more focused on the profitable trading in stocks of big global corporations at the expense of smaller companies trying to tap the market for the first time with initial public offerings (IPOs), stock analysts say.
