Overview

Cartesian Growth Corp IV is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Cayman Islands and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002126043. It completed its initial public offering in Jun 2026, raising $275M in gross proceeds and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker CGCF, units under CGCFU, warrants under CGCFW on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by CGC through CGC IV Sponsor LLC. The mandate targets generalist. IPO closed, trust funded, no definitive agreement announced.

“we intend to focus on seeking high-growth businesses with proven or potential transnational operations or outlooks in order to capitalize on the experience, reputation, and network of our management team.”
The mandate, as stated in the IPO prospectus

Reading the filings

Arithmetic on what Cartesian Growth Corp IV has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.

  • Trading at a discount to trust

    At $9.83 the shares change hands 1.72% below the $10.00 they can be redeemed for. A holder buying here is paid that spread to carry deadline and redemption risk until the vote, and the trust keeps accreting underneath it.

  • Trust versus the $10 unit

    The trust holds $10.00 per public share, effectively the $10.00 the units were sold at, so little or no interest has accrued to the account yet.

  • Time on the clock

    615 days to the Jun 25, 2028 deadline. The vehicle is early in its search window, and the deadline is not yet the binding constraint.

  • Sponsor promote

    The sponsor's founder block is 1,166,667 shares against 27,500,000 public shares, or 4.1% of the combined count, acquired before the IPO at nominal cost. That promote is the structural dilution every public shareholder carries into a combination, and it is why the economics of a de-SPAC differ so sharply from a conventional IPO.

  • Warrant coverage

    Each unit carried one-third warrant per unit. Warrants are dilution deferred: they cost the holder nothing until exercised, and they overhang the post-combination share count. Thinner coverage is generally a sign of a stronger book at pricing.

  • Sponsor record

    CGC has launched 5 vehicles. Of the 3 that have resolved, 3 closed a combination and 0 liquidated, a 100% completion rate. A sponsor's record is not a forecast, but it does tell you whether the team has taken a deal across the line before.

  • Underwriting

    Cantor Fitzgerald led the offering. It has been named on 151 SPAC IPOs, book-running 130 of them, and 69.5% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.

Where it is in its life

From listing to the date Cartesian Growth Corp IV must close a deal, extend again, or return the trust. The marker is today.

Potential is about execution, not about the target. It says nothing about whether the eventual deal is worth owning, because the target is usually unknown when the score is computed.

These are derived measures, not ratings of investment merit. They carry no view on the target, no price target and no recommendation, and a high score is not a reason to buy anything.

Cartesian Growth Corp IV: questions answered

What is Cartesian Growth Corp IV (CGCF)?

Cartesian Growth Corp IV is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Cayman Islands and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002126043. It completed its initial public offering in Jun 2026, raising $275M in gross proceeds and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker CGCF, units under CGCFU, warrants under CGCFW on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by CGC through CGC IV Sponsor LLC. The mandate targets generalist. IPO closed, trust funded, no definitive agreement announced.

How much does Cartesian Growth Corp IV hold in trust?

Approximately $275,054,127, or about $10.00 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.

When must Cartesian Growth Corp IV complete a merger?

By Jun 25, 2028. If no combination closes by then the sponsor must seek a further extension or wind the vehicle up and return the trust.

What happens if Cartesian Growth Corp IV does not find a target in time?

The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.

Can I redeem shares in Cartesian Growth Corp IV, and at what price?

Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.00 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.

What tickers does Cartesian Growth Corp IV trade under?

Class A shares trade as CGCF on Nasdaq, the units as CGCFU, and the warrants as CGCFW. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.

Is the trust value the same as the share price for Cartesian Growth Corp IV?

No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.00, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $9.83, a discount of 1.72% to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.

How much dilution do Cartesian Growth Corp IV's founder shares and warrants create?

The founder block is 1,166,667 shares against 27,500,000 public shares, so roughly 4.1% of the combined count sits with the sponsor at nominal cost. Each unit also carried one-third warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.

Who sponsors Cartesian Growth Corp IV, and what is their track record?

CGC IV Sponsor LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the CGC franchise. That franchise has launched 5 vehicles in total, of which 3 closed a combination and 0 liquidated, a 100% completion rate on resolved vehicles. Named principals: Peter Yu.

Which banks underwrote the Cartesian Growth Corp IV IPO?

Cantor Fitzgerald. Cantor Fitzgerald was credited as book-running manager on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.

Is Cartesian Growth Corp IV tradeable, and where?

Yes. CGCF returned a live quote of $9.83 on Nasdaq. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.

Is Cartesian Growth Corp IV a good investment?

That is not a question this site answers. Cartesian Growth Corp IV is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.

Where does this Cartesian Growth Corp IV data come from?

Filings Cartesian Growth Corp IV submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002126043: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. 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.
