This Wednesday we were holding our IPO simulation event with Amplify Trading at Cass Business School.

During the simulation, students were taking the role of analysts in an Equity Capital Markets division and went through the steps of deal preparation, roadshow, book-building and final IPO of their company.

This was an invaluable experience for our members to gain practical experience in the fields of ECM and IPOs as an extension to their academic knowledge.
