    Summarizes the regulatory environment and practices for providing a property company with a public listing. Furthermore, reports evidence of the direct and implied costs of undertaking a property initial public offering. The results indicate that choice of issue method and timing are key decisions to be made by property company financial managers.

    ABSTRACT This paper investigates the increase in underwriting fees for UK SEOs since the beginning of the financial crisis in mid-2007. We develop and test a number of hypotheses related to the role of institutional shareholders and underwriters involved in the issuing process. We find that the rise in fees is related to the strengthening of the relative negotiating position of a specific underwriter in comparison to a specific issuer and to the growing influence of institutional shareholders with short-term investment horizons. Our evidence suggests that there may be reasonable grounds for considering potential conflicts of interest due to the dual role of institutional shareholders as investors and sub-underwriters. On the other hand, the ownership size of large shareholders and the reputation of underwriters have a moderating effect on fees, while the nationality of the institutional shareholders, the concentration of the investment bank industry and the experience of corporate issuers are not related to underwriting fees.

    In contrast to the well-documented underperformance of equity issuers, property investment firms undertaking initial public offerings and rights issues have performed indistinguishably from similar nonissuing firms. Property development companies that issued equity over the same period performed significantly worse than nonissuing firms. The major difference between property development and property investment firms is that property investment firms hold portfolios of

    ABSTRACT This paper examines the predictive ability of alternative Unconditional methodologies. Another objective that is explored is the sensitivity of results to different grouping techniques, of size; PE ratio and dividend yield portfolio groupings. The third issue examined entails the identification of priced factors in the UK market, over a twenty year of period, (1976-1996), and for a data-set (approximately 6000 companies), which provides a complete history of firms traded on the London Stock exchange, inclusive of Unlisted securities market. We find that that the choice of one methodology over another has important implications and that there is a sensitivity of results to different portfolio groupings.
