IPOs – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS

IPO's are a major "movement of money" theme creating opportunities for employment seekers at all levels to participate in the growth/expansion of a company. New money equals new opportunities.

Many companies seek an infusion of money from the public through registration with the Security Exchange Commission and an investment banking organization such as a stock broker. A company is promoted by a broker setting the stage for an initial opportunity for the general public to participate in a private company's anticipated growth by buying stock in the company. The infusion of money allows the company to make various improvements in their operating, marketing, research and development, or manufacturing facilities, or simply to pay down debt allowing the company to become profitable again. Most importantly, the infusion of money will allow the company to attract and retain competent employees. 

Being aware of IPO activity is an important part of career management. By contacting the decision-maker at the right time and the right place, the astute job seeker can minimize the competition and find, or create, the ideal position. See your consultant for details.

Even after cutting back on consumer foods, Bunge Limited (formerly Bunge International) is still sizable. The conglomerate is a leading global soybean exporter, and, through subsidiary Bunge North America, is the US's #3 food processor (after ADM and Cargill). Bunge also owns Latin America's largest fertilizer producer. To focus on its soybean, grain trading, and fertilizer businesses, Bunge sold all of its consumer food processing firms, except Bunge Alimentos (margarine maker and soybean processor). Founded in 1818, Bunge was held mostly by the families descended from founder Johann Peter Gottlieb Bunge until it went public in August .
