Reviving its public listing plans, the growth equity firm has enlisted JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs to spearhead a possible IPO before the end of 2026, signalling a renewed surge in high-profile listings amid market recovery.
General Atlantic has returned to plans for a public listing and has asked JPMorgan Chase to lead the process, according to Crypto Briefing. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are also expected to work on the deal, which would put three of Wall Street’s most prominent firms in the syndicate. The move revives a listing effort that General Atlantic first explored in 2023 before stepping back from the market.
The New York-based growth equity firm manages about $130bn and has invested $121bn since it was founded, building positions in some of the best-known private companies in technology and finance. Its portfolio includes Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company whose valuation has risen sharply, along with India’s PhonePe and Mexico’s Banamex. The firm also brought in James Gorman, the former Morgan Stanley chief executive, as an adviser in March 2025 as it prepared for another attempt at going public.
The renewed push comes as IPO bankers are once again looking for large, high-profile listings after a slow stretch for the market. Crypto Briefing said the timing of any flotation remains flexible, with a potential debut seen before the end of 2026. Related reporting on Anthropic, another General Atlantic holding, suggests that the AI sector could be one of the main draws for investors if market conditions remain supportive.
