Americans Want to Invest in IPOs in 2024, According to New Investor Sentiment Survey
Linqto, the world's first financial technology investment platform democratizing access to private markets for accredited investors, today unveiled its 2024 IPO Sentiment Survey. The survey presents a nuanced landscape of the 2024 IPO market offering fresh insights into investor behavior, market recovery expectations, and sector-specific trends.
A slim majority of respondents (52.19%) anticipate a significant recovery in the IPO market in 2024. Linqto's analysis suggests this cautious optimism is supported by a strategic shift in investment patterns, favoring sectors such as Technology and AI, which 78.97% of respondents identified as leading the IPO charge.
"The IPO market in 2023 struggled significantly, and many investors turned to other opportunities, such as private and alternative market investing," said Joe Endoso, President, Linqto. "The results of this survey indicate that investors are bullish on the IPO market heading into 2024, and there is notable enthusiasm in a number of sectors, including emerging technology such as AI and fintech, as well as retail and fashion. Even as market pressures, Federal Reserve policies and more continue to influence the market, IPOs are poised for a stronger performance moving forward."
Endoso added: "In today's rapidly evolving market, investor education is paramount. Linqto is committed to empowering our community with comprehensive educational resources, ensuring our investors are well-informed and confident in their decisions."
