Establishes Leadership Position in SPAC Market with Proven Track Record and Strategic Vision
Charlotte, NC, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FG Nexus Inc. (Nasdaq: FGNX, FGNXP) (the “Company”) today announced it has been recognized as the top-performing SPAC sponsor by median returns and the second-ranking sponsor by average returns, according to a comprehensive industry study conducted by EarlyBirdCapital.
Under the leadership of Larry Swets, Head of Merchant Banking, and the other partners of FG Merchant Partners, including Hassan Baqar, Kyle Cerminara, and Joe Moglia, FG Nexus has established a differentiated and long-standing track record in the SPAC ecosystem. The four partners of FG Merchant Partners collectively bring deep leadership, operational, finance, and investment management expertise, and as early adopters of the SPAC structure nearly 20 years ago, members of the leadership team have served as sponsors, officers, directors, or senior advisors to 10 SPACs, successfully completing multiple business combinations while maintaining a disciplined, value-oriented approach.
“The SPAC market has evolved significantly over the past two decades, and our experience across the full lifecycle of these transactions gives us a unique 360-degree perspective,” said Mr. Swets. “We have participated as IPO investors, PIPE investors, sponsors, and founders of SPAC targets. This recognition reflects our deep understanding of the SPAC landscape and our ability to identify and execute transactions that create durable, long-term value for shareholders.”
FG Nexus’s SPAC platform is a core component of the Company’s broader investment and acquisition strategy, which focuses on identifying, structuring, and scaling growth-stage businesses with long-term value potential across insurance, financial services, and alternative assets.
Kyle Cerminara, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of FG Nexus, commented, “We are pleased to be recognized for our industry-leading SPAC expertise. Today’s SPAC sponsors are focused on quality over quantity, bringing real operational capabilities and patient capital to high-quality businesses that benefit from access to the public markets. Our experience, combined with improved investor protections and more disciplined valuation frameworks, has created an environment where SPACs can fulfill their original promise as a compelling alternative path to the public markets.”
The Company’s approach to SPACs emphasizes rigorous due diligence, operational transformation, and long-term value creation rather than short-term financial engineering. This philosophy aligns with FG Nexus’s broader mission of building smarter, more accountable public enterprises.
