Analyst questions
Guggenheim Securities and SPACs, answered
The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Guggenheim Securities's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.
Which SPACs has Guggenheim Securities underwritten?
Guggenheim Securities appears on the underwriting syndicate of 8 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including JATT III Acquisition Corp (JTTT), JATT II Acquisition Corp. (JATT), Zalatoris Acquisition Corp. and Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Co. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.
How many SPAC IPOs has Guggenheim Securities book-run?
Guggenheim Securities was credited as a book-running manager on 7 of its 8 SPAC mandates, 88% of them. The remainder are co-manager or syndicate positions, where the economics and the sponsor relationship sit elsewhere.
How much SPAC capital has Guggenheim Securities underwritten?
$2.2B of gross proceeds across every offering Guggenheim Securities 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: $657.3M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Guggenheim Securities specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.
What is the largest SPAC IPO Guggenheim Securities has worked on?
Pontem Corp, which raised $690.0M in Jan 2021. Guggenheim Securities was credited as a book-running manager on that offering.
Which Guggenheim Securities SPACs completed a business combination?
None of the SPACs Guggenheim Securities underwrote has yet reported a completed business combination in the filings we index. 2 remain live and 6 returned their trust.
Which Guggenheim Securities SPACs are still looking for a target?
2 vehicles Guggenheim Securities took public are still live, either searching or working towards an announced combination: JATT III Acquisition Corp (JTTT) and JATT II Acquisition Corp. (JATT). Their combination deadlines are on each profile.
What is Guggenheim Securities's SPAC completion rate?
0%. Of the 6 vehicles Guggenheim Securities underwrote that have already resolved, 0 closed a business combination and 6 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 13.2%, so Guggenheim Securities 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 Guggenheim Securities SPAC performed best after its merger?
We hold a current quote for none of Guggenheim Securities'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 Guggenheim Securities work with most?
JATT (2 deals), Elliott Opportunity (1 deal), Forest Road (1 deal), Crixus BH3 (1 deal) and Logistics Innovation Technologies (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 Guggenheim Securities share SPAC syndicates with?
Most often BTIG (2), Credit Suisse (2), UBS (1), Macquarie (1) and Cantor Fitzgerald (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 Guggenheim Securities start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?
Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Jan 14, 2021 and the most recent Aug 26, 2026. 2 of its vehicles are still live, so the franchise is active.
What was Guggenheim Securities's busiest year in SPACs?
2021, with 6 mandates worth $2.2B of gross proceeds. The chart on this page shows the full year-by-year run, which for most houses traces the 2020-21 boom and the retreat that followed.
What size of SPAC does Guggenheim Securities typically underwrite?
The average offering it has been named on raised $316.7M, against a range from $13.8M to $690.0M. 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 Guggenheim Securities's SPACs target?
Technology (3), Financial Services (2), Healthcare (2), Industrials (2) and Consumer (2). 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.
Where do Guggenheim Securities's SPACs list?
Nasdaq (2). Listing venue is taken from the exchange record on the registrant's SEC profile.
How many of Guggenheim Securities's SPACs liquidated?
6. 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 Guggenheim Securities 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 Guggenheim Securities 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.
