Recommendation
This is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to PIPEs. The acronym stands for Private Investment in Public Equity, and this includes not only common stock but warrants and other permutations of equity. Companies often issue PIPEs when they need capital but when market conditions make it imprudent to raise funds through a public offering. Most PIPEs investors are sophisticated institutions, and hedge funds are probably the most active participants in the market. PIPEs are a high-risk investment with abundant legal, market, regulatory and other complexities. This book neither attempts to sell PIPEs nor to discourage people from buying them. While somewhat repetitive, it is reasonably objective and reasonably thorough. getAbstract.com strongly recommends it to professional investors.
In this summary, you will learn
- How the market for PIPEs works and who the major participants are;
- What the primary risks are;
- How legislation and regulation are changing the market; and
- Whether investing in PIPEs makes sense for you.
