The plans were first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Pioneer shares rose about 2% Thursday.\nAcornsautomatically invests small contributions from usersinto baskets of stocks and bonds. It counts more than 4 million subscribers, most of whom pay $1 a month for the service, though Acorns also offers $3-a-month and $5-a-month options for additional features such as bank accounts or retirement plans. As of May, Acorns had $4.74 billion in assets under management, according to a recent regulatory filing.\nAs part of the transaction, Pioneer would contribute about $400 million in cash, with another $165 million coming from a related private placement involving funds managed byBlackRockInc.,BLK-0.03%Wellington Management Co. and other investors.\nSpecial-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, like Pioneer are corporate shells that raise money from investors and go hunting for a private company interested in taking both the shell’s cash and its stock listing as an alternative to an initial public offering. SPACs have raised more than $100 billion in 2021, according to data provider SPAC Research. But share prices for many SPACs and the companies they have taken publichave tumbled in recent weeks.\nSPACs have become a popular outlet for financial-tech startups, withbanking startup Social Finance Inc.,real-estate platform Better Holdco Inc.andtrading app eToro Group Ltd.all agreeing to multibillion-dollar deals with SPACs in recent months.\nThe SPAC fad has also drawn the attention of regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission is weighing whether to introduce new rules or guidance on SPACs with the aim of safeguarding individual investors,Chairman Gary Gensler told lawmakers this week.\nIndividual investors are expected to play a sizable role in Acorns’s merger with Pioneer. Acorns Chief Executive Noah Kerner said in an interview he planned to contribute 10% of his personal stake in the company to fund a program that gives shares to some Acorns customers. Pioneer’s sponsor plans to do the same.\nExisting investors in Acorns include companies such asPayPal HoldingsInc.and Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal as well as celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.\nAcorns projected that it would generate $126 million in revenue this year and $309 million in 2023, up from $71 million in 2020. The company also forecast that its user base would exceed 8 million subscribers by 2023.\nEven hitting that target would make Acorns much smaller than fellow investing startup Robinhood Markets Inc., which had about 20 million users at the end of 2020,the Journal previously reported.\nUnlike Robinhood, Acorns currently doesn’t allow users to buy or sell individual stocks. Mr. Kerner said Acorns guided users to build diversified holdings for the long term instead of making frequent trades, but the company is also planning to introduce an option for users to customize up to 10% of their portfolios with individual stocks of their choice.\n“Acorns will be on the right side of history,” Mr. Kerner said. “We are not a grow-at-all-costs company.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":135256927,"gmtCreate":1622166376769,"gmtModify":1634183222082,"author":{"id":"3576472339748285","authorId":"3576472339748285","name":"Charlene_Wee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f1195614ba4e8b2edf234e734266578","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576472339748285","authorIdStr":"3576472339748285"},"htmlText":"Sounds good","listText":"Sounds good","text":"Sounds good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/135256927","repostId":1188024086,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188024086","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622163788,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188024086?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 09:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fintech Startup Acorns to Go Public in $2 Billion SPAC Deal<blockquote>金融科技初创公司Acorns将以20亿美元的SPAC交易上市</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188024086","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Combination with Pioneer Merger Corp., related private placement to bring Acorns more than $450 mill","content":" Combination with Pioneer Merger Corp., related private placement to bring Acorns more than $450 million. <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eff0c58e9db4d1283c9de1771d40f7ce\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\">Acorns CEO Noah Kerner said he planned to contribute 10% of his personal stake in the company to fund a program that gives shares to some customers.PHOTO:PATRICK STRATTNER FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL<blockquote>与先锋合并公司合并，相关私募为Acorns带来超过4.5亿美元。Acorns首席执行官诺亚·肯纳(Noah Kerner)表示，他计划出资10%的公司个人股份，为一项向部分客户提供股票的计划提供资金。照片：《华尔街日报》的帕特里克·斯特拉特纳(PATRICK STRATTNER)</blockquote> Acorns Grow Inc. plans to go public through a merger with a blank-check company in a deal that values the digital savings and investing app at about $2.2 billion.<blockquote>Acorns Grow Inc.计划通过与一家空白支票公司合并上市，这笔交易对这款数字储蓄和投资应用程序的估值约为22亿美元。</blockquote> The Irvine, Calif.-based financial-tech company said Thursday that it would combine withPioneer MergerCorp.PACX1.64%, a special-purpose acquisition company affiliated with the hedge funds Falcon Edge Capital and Patriot Global Management.
