link croup, one of Australia's largest fund administration providers, plans to raise about A$1bn (US$730m) from an ASX IPO in the fourth quarter. The company has mandated Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie and UBS as leads on the IPO. Link, which is majority owned by private equity firm Pacific Equity Partners, is expected to be valued at A$2bn-$2.5bn on listing. The IPO may total about A$1bn if it involves both primary and secondary shares, according to those close to the transaction. The structure of the IPO has yet to be finalised.
