17 Aug
Summary
- General Atlantic aims for an IPO, potentially this year.
- The firm manages $130 billion in assets, investing widely.
- The US IPO market has seen a strong rebound recently.
General Atlantic has chosen JPMorgan Chase to spearhead its initial public offering, signaling a revival of listing plans that were paused nearly three years ago. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have also been engaged for the IPO, which could occur as early as this year.
These discussions are ongoing, and the specifics, including the number of banks involved, may evolve. The firm had previously filed confidentially for a listing in December 2023 but delayed the offering due to market volatility.

General Atlantic, a prominent investment firm, manages approximately $130 billion in assets. Since its inception, it has invested a total of $121 billion across a global portfolio that includes companies like Anthropic, PhonePe, and Banamex.
