Bankers predict busy IPO market next year, potential for bigger floats. HONG KONG/SYDNEY, Dec 9 - Bankers in Australia have much to cheer this Christmas as fees from underwriting IPOs surge 10-fold this year, and many are now betting on an equally active year in 2014 as a slew of private equity exits keep the market busy. The rush of listings, most of which are concentrated in the last two months of the year, have led some bankers to predict an initial public offering pipeline of at least A$6 billion next year, defying a slowing domestic economy weakened by falling commodity prices. Among the companies expected to list next year include government-owned insurer Medibank Private and healthcare business The Healthscope Group, owned by private equity funds The Carlyle Group and TPG Capital Management, according to a banking source.
