The IPO market was hot in 2014, particularly for Nasdaq listings as 61% of all U.S. and 60% of international new issues debuted on theNasdaq. EVP of Global Listing Services at Nasdaq, Nelson Griggs, tells TheStreet's Jill Malandrino 187 IPOs will have listed on Nasdaq by this Friday, December 19, including the largest biotech of the year. The strength came from the broad-based sectors and the market, overall. Griggs says Nasdaq IPOs are up an average of 11.5% on the year. The four top sectors Nasdaq won include Healthcare, Venture Capital, Financials and Technology. Griggs believes 2015 will be another robust year based on the backlog he sees with the Nasdaq and SEC process.
