Using a sample of 250 Nordic IPOs, consisting of private equity-backed (PE) and non-backed (NB) issues from January 2010 to March 2017, this paper examines the long-term performance of IPOs in the Nordic market. We compare and contrast the after-market performance of PE-backed IPOs to NB IPOs in an event study regime. We present raw buy-and-hold returns (BHRs) for each IPO over a holding period of
