    /24-7PressRelease/ - January 30, 2008 - A spokesperson at Unicorn Ventures apparently said that, despite recent market volatility, the volume of European listings had risen by nearly a fifth during July and September - from 151 to 179. However, the spokesperson apparently went on to say that the fund amount raised had fallen from €16.3bn ($23bn) to €12.8bn.

A source close to Unicorn Ventures stated that research by the private equity firm had shown that London was once again the largest market by number of listings, with 79 in the third quarter compared with 77 for the same period last year. The research also apparently revealed that those companies had raised just €6.4bn compared with last year's €11.7bn.

The Unicorn Ventures spokesperson reportedly stated that while the initial public offering market may not presently be booming, with much corporate activity in the pipeline for the next six months, the companyâ s outlook remains positive.

He apparently went on to add that he estimated the next quarter would likely be down on the fourth quarter of last year, and that many large European companies may still delay their initial public offerings due to market uncertainty.
