Last Updated:
Och-Ziff is one step closer to coming public, and this is set to trade under the ticker "OZM" on the New York Stock Exchange. The hedge fund family is indicated to sell 36 million class A shares priced in a range of $30 to $33 per share. The company has also agreed to sell a stake to Dubai International Capital LLC, pursuant to which it will sell 38,138,571 Class A shares so it will beneficially own 9.9% of the outstanding Class A shares on the closing date of this offering.
Interestingly enough, Och-Ziff’s underwriting group is massive. Goldman Sachs and Lehman Bros. are tagged as the lead underwriters, and other key underwriters are Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, and J.P.Morgan. Co-managers with smaller allocations are listed as Credit Suisse, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Bear Stearns, Macquarie, Nomura, BOC International, Ramirez & co., and Utendahl Capital Partners. While some of the key European investment banks are not listed in here, it looks like the hedge fund operator is giving an allocation to every investment banker in its rolodex.
As of September 30, 2007, Och-Ziff managed approximately $30.1 Billion in assets from over 700 fund investors. More detailed information on this and other IPO’s and spin-offs goes out to our public distribution list several times per week.

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.
Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.
But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
