REIT Gadsden Growth withdraws IPO plan because of insufficient investor interest
Gadsden Growth Properties filed Monday to withdraw its plan for an initial public offering, because the IPO "did not garner sufficient investor interest." In the real estate investment trust's most recent amended registration statement in September 2017, the company said it would offer 3.50 million shares in the IPO, which was expected to price between $9 and $11 a share.

In the previous amended statement filed in July 2017, Gadsden said it was offering 5.75 million shares.

The withdrawal comes at a time that the Renaissance IPO ETF had gained 1.9% year to date, while the SPDR Real Estate Select Sector ETF has lost 5.0% and the S&P 500 has tacked on 0.8%.
