Analyst questions
Futu (Hong Kong) and SPACs, answered
The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Futu (Hong Kong)'s own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.
Which SPACs has Futu (Hong Kong) underwritten?
Futu (Hong Kong) appears on the underwriting syndicate of 2 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including Summit Healthcare Acquisition Corp. and Artisan Acquisition Corp.. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.
How many SPAC IPOs has Futu (Hong Kong) book-run?
We have not indexed a book-running credit for Futu (Hong Kong); every mandate on record is a co-manager or syndicate position. Bookrunner status is read from the prospectus cover, so a blank can also mean the cover did not separate the roles.
How much SPAC capital has Futu (Hong Kong) underwritten?
$535M of gross proceeds across every offering Futu (Hong Kong) was named on. That is the conventional league-table measure, which credits the full deal to each syndicate member. The narrower figure is its own allocation: $9.5M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Futu (Hong Kong) specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.
What is the largest SPAC IPO Futu (Hong Kong) has worked on?
Artisan Acquisition Corp., which raised $339M in May 2021. Futu (Hong Kong) was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.
Which Futu (Hong Kong) SPACs completed a business combination?
1 of the SPACs Futu (Hong Kong) underwrote closed a combination: Summit Healthcare Acquisition Corp.. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.
Which Futu (Hong Kong) SPACs are still looking for a target?
Futu (Hong Kong) has no live SPAC mandates in our index; every vehicle it underwrote has either closed a deal or wound up.
What is Futu (Hong Kong)'s SPAC completion rate?
50%. Of the 2 vehicles Futu (Hong Kong) underwrote that have already resolved, 1 closed a business combination and 1 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 59.5%, so Futu (Hong Kong) sits below it. SPACs still searching are excluded, because an unfinished clock is not a result. The rate measures the vehicles, not the bank: a syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target.
Which Futu (Hong Kong) SPAC performed best after its merger?
We hold a current quote for none of Futu (Hong Kong)'s closed deals, so no comparison is possible here. Post-merger price history is not part of our dataset, and we would rather say so than imply a ranking the data does not support. What this page does show is the outcome of every vehicle and the trust economics disclosed at the time.
Which sponsors does Futu (Hong Kong) work with most?
Artisan (1 deal) and Summit Healthcare (1 deal). Sponsor franchises are resolved from the sponsor entity named in each prospectus, so repeat issuers group together even though every vehicle is a separate legal entity.
Which banks does Futu (Hong Kong) share SPAC syndicates with?
Most often BofA Securities (1), Credit Suisse (1) and UBS (1). Syndicate composition is read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section, so these are co-appearances on the same offering, not a commercial relationship we have any other visibility into.
When did Futu (Hong Kong) start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?
Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced May 17, 2021 and the most recent Jun 10, 2021. It has no live vehicles at present.
What size of SPAC does Futu (Hong Kong) typically underwrite?
The average offering it has been named on raised $268M, against a range from $196M to $339M. Deal size is a reasonable proxy for where a house sits in the market: the bulge bracket concentrates on larger trusts, the SPAC specialists on smaller ones.
Which sectors do Futu (Hong Kong)'s SPACs target?
Healthcare (1) and Consumer (1). Mandates are read from charter language in the prospectus and are often deliberately broad. Many SPACs reserve the right to pursue any industry, in which case no sector is tagged at all.
How many of Futu (Hong Kong)'s SPACs liquidated?
1. A liquidation means the vehicle reached its combination deadline without closing a deal and returned the trust to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed, not a default. Holders who did not redeem got their pro-rata share of the trust back.
Where does this Futu (Hong Kong) data come from?
Every figure is read from filings the registrants made with the SEC. Syndicate membership and role come from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section of each IPO prospectus (Form 424B4); outcomes come from the filing record: a current report announcing completion, or a delisting notice ending a liquidation. Nothing here is sourced from press coverage or from Futu (Hong Kong) itself.

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally IPO prospectuses (Form 424B4), current reports (Form 8-K), delisting notices (Form 25-NSE). Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
