An IPO is an important milestone for a company and its shareholders, and it has long-term business, human & financial implications. Our purpose is to demystify the IPO process by leveraging the personal experience of company executives, advisors, and other stakeholders. In IPO Stories we interview executives, founders, advisors and investors who share their experience of the IPO process. The podcast is hosted by Gautier Rousseau and Per Einar Ellefsen, the founders of Amundsen Investment Management, a European fund manager based in Paris and Oslo.

Passive investors and IPOs - Prof. Marco Sammon (IPO Stories, Ep. 33)
Thursday Mar 27, 2025
Thursday Mar 27, 2025
Marco Sammon is an assistant professor in the Finance Unit at Harvard Business School. He and his co-authors have researched on how indexing interacts with IPOs, particularly relating to fast-track additions to equity indices in the US, and the behaviour of firms in response to equity index rebalancing.
With Marco, we try to draw some conclusions for investors and management teams about how to adapt to the growing share of passive ownership in equity markets – which can be both frustrating at times, and beneficial to companies going public.
