HF primary / secondary equity issuance strategy

Is anyone aware of funds, or a team within a large fund, focused on primary and secondary equity issuance? Wanted to get a view on why HF would find this strategy attractive, and why is a HF doing this vs. a typical primary investor?

My thoughts would be that there is alpha from valuing a business correctly vs the ipo process (both long/short opps available), but to me it seems a more traditional investment role than what HFs would typically look at.

 

Some arbitrage funds play IPOs and follow-ons for short-term trades because of technical dynamics (supply/demand imbalances created by a hot IPO or a flood of new shares etc). Is this the sort of strategy you mean?

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
