Understanding Pre-IPO Share Placements
Welcome to our step-by-step guide to investing in pre0ipo placements and making sure you minimise risks along the way.
Pre-IPO share placements refer to the sale of stock in a private company before its initial public offering (IPO).
This is an opportunity for investors to purchase shares in a company before it goes public, giving them access to the potential growth and profits of the company before the general public.
Eligibility for Investing in Pre-IPO
Not everyone is eligible to invest in pre-IPO shares. In most cases, only accredited investors, who meet certain financial criteria, are able to participate in these types of investments.
Additionally, private companies may choose to limit the number of investors and the number of shares available for pre-IPO placement.
What is a Secondary Market?
A secondary market refers to a marketplace where securities (such as stocks or bonds) that were originally issued in a primary market are bought and sold.
In contrast to the primary market where securities are issued and sold directly to investors, the secondary market enables existing owners of securities to trade them with other investors.
The most well-known example of a secondary market is a stock exchange. The secondary market provides liquidity to investors and enables them to buy and sell securities without affecting the issuer.
