‘I’ve never seen that in my life’: Big name fundies flock to Firmus’ IPO showcase
Oliver Curtis has returned to Sydney for the final leg of Firmus’ non-deal roadshow and the sheer number of investors that showed up on Monday showed the hype is real.
Any doubts about the size of local investor interest in Oliver Curtis’ ‘AI factory’ builder Firmus were put to bed on Monday morning as hundreds of fund managers filled out an auditorium at the Sofitel Hotel in Sydney.
After meeting with investors in North America, Europe and Asia over the last fortnight, the company’s Singapore-based co-founder and co-CEO has finally taken the multi-billion-dollar IPO pitch to his hometown.
“It had like 150 people there, which tells you the level of interest in the business from the institutional investment community,” Wilson Asset Management (WAM) portfolio manager Shaun Weick told Capital Brief.
“I’ve never seen that in my life, if I’m honest. It was a full auditorium.”
