Underwriter — IPO Underwriting
Initial Public
Offerings
Strigic acts as lead underwriter and bookrunner for equity offerings, guiding corporations through the full IPO lifecycle — from pre-IPO structuring and regulatory filings to roadshow execution and post-listing stabilisation.
Overview
End-to-End Equity Capital Markets Execution
An IPO is one of the most consequential transactions a company will undertake. It demands a partner with the analytical depth to establish a credible valuation, the distribution network to build a quality institutional register, and the execution discipline to deliver a successful listing under market pressure.
Strigic brings all three. Our team has managed equity offerings across a range of sectors and market conditions, developing a repeatable process that balances issuer objectives with investor expectations — and delivers listings that hold.
We work closely with management teams from the earliest stages of IPO preparation, ensuring the company is positioned correctly before it enters the public eye. Our network spans institutional investors, fund managers, and sovereign wealth funds across regional and international markets.

Our Process
From Private Company to Listed Entity
Pre-IPO Advisory
We assess corporate readiness, advise on optimal listing venue, and guide structural preparation — including governance, financial reporting standards, and shareholder arrangements — well ahead of the public filing window.
Prospectus & Regulatory Filing
Our team coordinates the preparation of the offering prospectus, working alongside legal counsel and auditors to meet all regulatory requirements. We manage the filing process with the relevant exchange and securities regulator.
Valuation & Price Discovery
We conduct rigorous fundamental valuation using DCF, comparable company, and precedent transaction analysis to establish a defensible price range, then refine it through pre-marketing investor feedback.
Bookbuilding & Roadshow
Strigic manages the institutional roadshow — coordinating management presentations, one-on-one investor meetings, and real-time book management to build a high-quality, diversified register.
Pricing & Allocation
We advise on final pricing and allocation strategy, balancing issuer objectives with long-term register quality. Allocation decisions are made with transparency and in the best interests of the issuer.
Post-Listing Stabilisation
Following listing, we provide market stabilisation support as permitted by regulation, monitor secondary market performance, and advise on analyst coverage initiation and ongoing investor relations.

We have deep experience across financial services, technology, natural resources, infrastructure, and consumer sectors — though our analytical and execution capabilities extend across all industries.
