In this episode of Market Points, Michelle Khalili, Managing Director and Global Head, Equity Capital Markets and Corporate Finance Advisory, speaks with Pete Gordon, Director, Equity Capital Markets, about the latest institutional investorsentiment toward IPOs. 

Drawing from Scotiabank’s recent IPO survey of global institutional investors representing $4 trillion in assets, they discuss growing risk appetite, the return of growth as the top priority over profitability, and the strong interest in AI-driven technology. While macro uncertainty and inflation remain concerns, the outlook for the remainder of 2025 is constructive, with a robust pipeline and accelerating investor demand.
