Good evening,

As fund managers and equities desks watch out for equity raisings this reporting season, one quick out of the gates is payments group Splitit.

Splitit will launch a $100 million raising tomorrow, in a deal that will see it pinch one of tearaway Afterpay's early investors as a cornerstone backer.

Stockbroker Canaccord Genuity was helping stitch up the deal tonight.

Meanwhile, stockbrokers are also hard at work pitching for a role in what is shaping to be the year's biggest IPO contender — Brookfield's coal port at Dalrymple Bay.

Brookfield has sent a request for proposal to a bunch of firms in the past few days, asking them to pitch for a role in the float.

Finally, Village Roadshow is keeping the light on for suitor BGH Capital, and there's a new microcap strategy starting up in one of Melbourne's equities houses.

Happy reading,

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
