5 SPAC IPOs underwritten · 4 as left lead · 0 active
Cantor Fitzgerald, the New York-based financial services and investment banking firm, has been an active SPAC sponsor since its first blank-check vehicle debuted in 2014. Over that span, Cantor has brought five SPACs to market, acting as left lead on four of those offerings — a dual role that reflects the firm's integrated sponsorship and underwriting capabilities. Three of those vehicles have reached closed-deal status, and Cantor currently carries no active SPAC mandates. The firm's blank-check activity is concentrated in the financial services sector, consistent with its broader advisory and capital markets franchise.
