Selling Group
Categories: Company Valuation, IPO
In any given offering of debt, equity, or marbles, there is usually more than one bank who markets the IPO (or secondary, or whatever).
On a big IPO like Alibaba's, there was Goldman, Morgan, Merrill, and an ocean of smaller banks around the world. Together, these comprise "the selling group." Fat Mike, Skinny Mike, and Ed from up the street would comprise the marbles' selling group.
