by Tyler Durden Friday, Apr 09, 2021 - 11:01 AM As we noted earlier this week, it appears the days of SPACs debuting a dozen at a time, what many had speculated might be the peak of SPAC-mania, are over. Only a handful of new deals hit public markets this week. On Friday morning, the FT reported that one reason for the slowdown appears to be a declining appetite for institutional financing from institutional investors like Fidelity and Wellington Management, which have poured billions of dollars into so-called "PIPE" vehicles, a critical aspect of SPAC dealmaking. SPACs raise money from public markets during their debut, but getting a deal done typically requires an infusion of private capital, often from a variety of sources.
