# 28 morning session, “the fund focuses on publicly traded companies” so the company is already a publicly traded company, why would you want to have an intianl public offering?

I guess the reason is the firm already bought out by the fund n become private. Hence it’s no longer a public firm. Once u want to go public again, it’s the IPOD since the firm is somehow different from what it used to be, n most importantly it’s private at the moment** Swap question : I don’t know why the hell it is . It cost me so much time**
