CHICAGO, May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Katten's 2021 SPAC Survey, stemming from one poll of 80 investment professionals in March and another of 100 investment professionals in May, found that investors who have participated in at least one SPAC transaction — as either sponsors, investors, advisors or underwriters — say they expect SPAC activity to increase at least through 2022.
When Katten conducted its first poll, 75 percent of investors who had participated in at least one SPAC transaction said they expected SPAC activity to increase through next year. Despite an underwhelming second quarter, Katten's second poll revealed continued, undaunted optimism: 72 percent of investors who have participated in a SPAC transaction agree (with 44 percent of those strongly agreeing) that SPAC IPO activity will be strong through at least 2022. Not surprisingly, those who have not participated in a SPAC are more skeptical — just 32 percent feel that activity will be strong through 2022.
