Deal Structure & Institutions
HK IPO deal structure and participants: Pool A/B, mainland participation, cornerstones, sponsors, syndicate size, and greenshoe.
Stocks where A-tail (last A-tier) expected lots barely exceed or fall below B-head (first B-tier). Lower gap ratio = more anomalous tier structure.
Do cornerstone-backed IPOs perform better? Comparing average first-day returns, win rates, and subscription levels between IPOs with and without cornerstone investors. Bubble size = return magnitude, green = positive, red = negative.

Does having more banks in an IPO deal lead to better or worse first-day returns? Analysis of total syndicate size, lead manager count, and bookrunner count vs average return. Counterintuitive finding: smaller syndicates consistently outperform larger ones.

Syndicate = all banks/firms participating in an IPO deal. Lead managers (牵头经办人) are mid-tier syndicate members responsible for distribution. Bookrunners (账簿管理人) handle order book and pricing. The inverse relationship likely reflects that larger syndicates are typical for mega-IPOs which are already 'fully priced' with limited upside, while smaller syndicates serve small-cap IPOs with more room for first-day pops. Past patterns do not predict future outcomes.
The greenshoe (over-allotment option) allows underwriters to sell up to 15% additional shares for price stabilization. Do greenshoe IPOs perform differently? Raw comparisons are confounded by the size effect — size-adjusted analysis is needed.

|---|---|---|---|
| IPO Count | 213 | 217 | -4 |
| Avg Return | 37.07% | 39.99% | -2.9% |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small (<2B) | 9 | -2.3% | 10 | 129.4% | -131.7pp |
| Mid (2-10B) | 44 | 95.2% | 55 | 62.7% | +32.5pp |
| Large (10-50B) | 64 | 30.7% | 29 | 60.4% | -29.7pp |
| Mega (>50B) | 33 | 31.2% | 2 | 22.6% | +8.6pp |
The greenshoe option allows underwriters to purchase up to 15% additional shares at the offer price within 30 days of listing. Dual purpose: (1) price stabilization — underwriters can buy back shares to support the price; (2) meet excess demand. Greenshoe IPOs are predominantly larger deals, so raw comparisons are heavily confounded by the size effect. Past patterns do not guarantee future outcomes.
