But it rarely seems to be working for the retail crowd. Originally invented 25 years ago for smaller companies to access the capital they would otherwise have difficulty obtaining, SPACs have recently become popular among retail investors seeking higher risk and a little excitement by investing alongside celebrities and proven entrepreneurs. In 2020, more than 200 new SPACs raised $73B. Another $38B was raised by SPACs in January 2021, the single biggest month of SPAC issuance ever and about double what companies raised in the same month through traditional IPOs. In February 2021 there were 50 SPAC mergers, the most of all time, at nearly $108.6 B How have SPACs performed in the last 2 years? Goldman reported in September, “SPAC returns have been weak, especially following deal closure. Of the 172 SPACs that have closed a deal since the start of 2020, the median has outperformed the Russell 3000 from its IPO to deal announcement," the Goldman strategists note. But "in the six months after deal closure, the median SPAC underperformed the Russell 3000 by 42 percentage points." Renaissance Capital’s Kennedy (Sr IPO Strategist) stated, “ 70% of SPAC IPOs so far this year are trading below their $10 offer price (that's through September 15, and includes those that have announced and a few that have completed mergers). And of the SPACs that have completed mergers in 2021, 58% trade below their original offer price” According to Pitchbook, 317 SPAC IPOs were launched in the first quarter of 2021, 106 in the second quarter and 111 in the third quarter. Now, there's a rising trend in deals getting cancelled. Eight SPAC mergers have already been called off since the beginning of Q4 2021, compared to seven terminations for all of Q3, none in Q2, one in Q1. The most prominent cancelled mergers are FAST Acquisition and Fertitta Entertainment, Pathfinder Acquisition and ServiceMax Northern Star, II and Apex Fintech Solutions, and Valo Health and Khosla Ventures Acquisition. Fast and Fertitta Entertainment agreed to terminate their merger after the parties’ disagreement over the termination date in the merger agreement. 57 SPACs began trading publicly in October, the highest since March when a record of 109 SPACs were launched.
