Abstract |
This study examines the effects of IPO syndicates on underwriting services using 748 Korean IPOs from January 2000 to December 2013. We report that the numbers of MLU (multiple lead underwriter) IPOs and co-managed IPOs have increased after the middle of 2000. Our empirical results show that MLUs and co-managers do not enhance underwriting services while they charge the higher issuance costs. Moreover, the abnormal buy-and-holding returns are lower for MLU IPOs and return volatility is greater for co-managed IPOs in the KOSPI market. Overall, our evidence suggests that hiring MLUs or co-managers is less beneficial to issuers and might result from the reciprocal relationship among investment banks or the prior relationship between issuers and underwriters. |
