A big year for LICs

2017 was an exceptional year for new listed investment company and listed investment trust raisings, with 14 new entities raising a total of $4.2bn via initial public offers. This significantly exceeded the funds raised by new LIC/LIT offers in the previous two years and lifted the total number of LICs & LITs on the ASX to 105 by the end of November 2017. In its latest LMI Update, Independent Investment Research reviews the activity of the past year and takes a look at potential activity in 2018 and finds that there are likely to be more international offerings and sees opportunity for new LICs/LITs in the small-cap space.
