Abstract:     
The article provides an overview of the emerging PIPE market and existing academic research in this area. I start with an introduction of the PIPE market, such as the definition of PIPE, security structure, and commonly used contract terms. Then I review existing papers examining the cost of PIPEs, returns to PIPE investors, and the role of placement agents in the offering. I also discuss recent SEC enforcement on hedge funds who involved in some PIPE transactions. Finally, I analyze how the current financial crisis has impacted the PIPE market and where this market is heading for.

Keywords: Private Investment in Public Equity
