9 SPAC IPOs underwritten · 9 as left lead · 2 active
EF Hutton, a division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, emerged as one of the more prolific mid-market SPAC underwriters following its entry into the blank-check space in 2021. The firm served as left-lead bookrunner on all nine of its SPAC IPOs, with aggregate trust proceeds falling in the $500 million to $1 billion range across the full book. EF Hutton's mandates have spanned technology, healthcare, and consumer-facing sectors, consistent with the broader mid-cap SPAC market it targets. As of the current period, two of its vehicles remain active and searching for acquisition targets, while none of the nine IPOs have yet culminated in a completed business combination.
