1: Official Announcement

On October 13, 2025, international financial markets were abuzz with the news that Public Policy had officially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq (U.S.) and was considering a dual listing in London (U.K.).

The announcement, reported simultaneously by major outlets such as Reuters, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times, marked one of the most notable international IPO events of Q4 2025.

According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Public Policy — a London-based strategic consulting and policy analysis firm — aims to raise between USD 600 million and 800 million through its public offering.

What makes this move remarkable is that the company is not only targeting a listing in the U.S. but also pursuing a dual listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) — a rare strategy at a time when most companies prefer to focus on a single market.

A company representative explained that the goal is to “expand access to international investors and reinforce its global presence.”

Choosing Nasdaq, known for its high liquidity and appeal to technology-driven capital, reflects a strategic effort to reach the dynamic U.S. investor community, while maintaining a listing in London, its “home base,” helps preserve long-standing relationships with European funds and shareholders.

The company’s Chairman and CEO stated during a press conference:

“We believe that a dual listing will allow us to access global capital while maintaining the transparency and credibility that have defined our company for more than a decade.”

He further emphasized that the IPO is not merely about raising capital for expansion projects, but also about standardizing governance processes, enhancing transparency, and strengthening financial control systems — all essential to meeting the stringent standards of two of the world’s most demanding stock exchanges.

The market reaction was immediately positive.

Shares of other publicly traded consulting firms — including FTI Consulting, Accenture, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) — rose modestly on the same day, signaling investor optimism that Public Policy’s IPO could ignite a new wave of listings within the global consulting industry.

Financial analysts offered several perspectives:

• For Nasdaq, this represents an opportunity to solidify its position as a leading technology–finance hub and attract more European firms to list in the U.S.

• For London, the deal could help revitalize investor confidence in the U.K. exchange, which has faced mounting competition from New York and Amsterdam since Brexit.

• For investors, a consulting firm choosing dual listing creates more flexibility in capital allocation, with shares traded and valued in two of the world’s largest financial centers.
