Faida Investment Bank is set for a Sh1.16 billion fee windfall for successfully leading the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) initial public offering (IPO) to a full subscription, highlighting the lucrative returns for intermediaries who handle mega capital raising deals.

Faida, which was the lead transaction advisor for the Sh106.3 billion IPO, qualifies for a payout equivalent to one percent of the gross proceeds of the offer, which translates to Sh1.06 billion, after it was oversubscribed.
