Lead underwriter - the investment bank in charge of setting the offering price of an IPO and allocating shares to other members of the syndicate. Also called lead manager. Most IPOs are made through investment banking firms that act as ‘‘firm commitment’’ underwriters for the company’s stock, which means that the company does not sell shares to the public directly but rather sells the shares to the underwriters at a negotiated discount to the price at which the shares
will be offered to the public. The underwriters then resell the shares to dealers and to their institutional and retail customers.
