Of four initial public offerings (IPO) scheduled to begin trading on Wednesday, we have seen two and await the others. Both IPOs now trading priced below their expected range, and one offered fewer shares than expected. Investor interest has not been wildly positive either.

Moelis & Co. (NYSE: MC) is a global investment bank based in New York. The firm sold 6.5 million shares in its IPO Wednesday morning at $25 a share. That was below its expected range of $26 to $29. The number of shares sold was also lower than the planned offering of 7.3 million shares. Moelis raised about $162.5 million in gross proceeds at the IPO price.

Competing with the massive investment banking operations of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley may seem like a losing proposition, but Moelis emphasizes its independence. Its chief competitors are likely to be Evercore Partners Inc. (NYSE: EVR) and Greenhill & Co. Inc. (NYSE: GHL), both of which are down about 15% year to date.

Moelis shares traded up about 5% at $26.25, after touching a peak of $27.22 earlier in the morning. Trading opened at $27 a share.
