This quarter also saw 11% higher proceeds than the last record-setting third quarter in 2020.In total, 547 IPOs raised $106.3 billion in the third quarter alone, EY data revealed. Year-to-date, 1,635 firms have gone public thus far - raising $330.7 billion in total - far surpassing the 2020 figure in both deal numbers and proceeds.<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 273px;" border="1"><tbody><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Month/Quarter</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Number of IPOs</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Proceeds (US dollars)</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">July 2019</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;"> 134 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$15.4 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">August 2019</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">55 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$6.3 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">September 2019</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">62 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$18.2 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Q3 2019</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">251</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$39.9 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">July 2020</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">147 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$33.4 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">August 2020</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">123 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$22.6 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">September 2020</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">175 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$40.2 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Q3 2020</td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">445 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$96.2 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 21px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 21px;">July 2021 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 21px;">276 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 21px;">$46.2 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">August 2021 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">110 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$32.1 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 10px;">September 2021 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 10px;">161 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 10px;">$28.0 billion</td></tr><tr style="height: 22px;"><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">Q3 2021 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">547 </td><td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 22px;">$106.3 billion</td></tr></tbody></table>A key driver was the rebound of IPO markets in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa with 476 IPOs raising $73.7 billion year-to-date, EY said, a 263% and 313% increase respectively. But the pause in the boom of blank-check IPOs during the second quarter also spilled over in the third, EY added. Over in the Asia-Pacific region, the region continued to be active despite some signs of slowdown due to geopolitical tensions in the region. In the third quarter, 750 IPOs raised $123.4 billion since the beginning of 2021. Greater China made up a the biggest chunk of the IPOs (444) followed by Japan at a far second (81).In the Americas, the market has picked up the pace, with 409 IPOs raising US$1336 billion. The level of SPAC activity cooled compared to the first quarter's breakneck speed as the space continues to face regulatory headwinds. Still, going public via a SPAC continues to be an attractive option for many companies, EY said.In terms of sectors, companies in the field of technology once again dominated the list. For the fifth consecutive quarter since the third quarter of 2020, companies in this field generated the highest year-to-date number of deals, EY said. Healthcare and industrials sectors followed."As we head into the last quarter and market uncertainties and volatility continue to intensify, it is important to be well prepared, consider alternatives to the traditional IPO route and be realistic on valuation to ensure success," said Paul Go, EY Global IPO Leader, in a statement.Still, the firm said it expects a steady pipeline of deals to continue notwithstanding political tensions, inflation risks, tapering by the US central bank, as well as new variants of COVID-19. Serious IPO candidates, EY noted, should look to "prepare themselves as early as possible and be ready to launch quickly," if needed.

Investors were anticipating Ant Group to raise up to $35 billion in what would have been the biggest IPO in history.Ant Group is still in the "early stages" of examining changes that would be required to appease regulators, Bloomberg said, citing regulatory officials familiar with the matter. "With so much work needed and some rules not yet spelled out, the officials said the initial public offering may not get done before 2022," Bloomberg said.The development is a blow to investors in Ant Group that were hoping to cash out with the IPO. <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/baba-stock">Alibaba</a>, which owns one third of Ant Group, fell as much as 5% on Monday, representing the sharpest decline since the IPO was delayed.

Bloomberg estimated that Ant Group would require $12 billion in funds to regain compliance with the new rules and regulations.If the fintech giant is unable to complete its public debut before its IPO filing expires in October of 2021, the company would have to restart the listing process with the Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges.The delay in Ant Group's IPO has led some analysts to slash its valuation estimate in half, Bloomberg noted, serving a blow to those expected to generate a windfall from the IPO, including investment banks facilitating the deal.Read More: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-picks-to-buy-covid-recovery-value-rotation-undervalued-rbc-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy these 10 stocks set to soar and smash Wall Street's expectations in the recovery from COVID-19, RBC says</a>
