These SPACs had the greatest returns since announcing their mergers in 2020

Overnamebedrijven voor speciale doeleinden (SPACs), also known as blank check vehicles, have raised a record $82.1 billion in 2020 as of Dec. 24 — a sixfold increase from last year’s record high, according to data from Dealogic. Throughout the year, these companies have been busy in the cannabis, green technology, and sports-betting arenas, scooping up corporations like DraftKings and Nikola.
