The three banks that were lead managers for the $A5.7bn IPO of Medibank Private will be collectively paid $A19.7m in fees. They will each receive a base management fee of $A5m, as well as incentive fees. The total fees associated with the IPO tops $A36m when the fees paid to law firms and other advisers are taken into account. IPOs of government-owned businesses are typically less lucrative for bankers, but they tend to be attracted to such floats for the prestige and the potential for similar work in the future
