What is an Initial Public Offering?

An initial public offering (IPO) refers to offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. Public share issuance allows a company to raise capital from public investors. The transition from a private to a public company can be an important time for private investors to fully realize gains from their investment as it typically includes share premiums for current private investors. Meanwhile, it also allows public investors to participate in the offering.

Why do investors invest in IPO's

All investors have different strategies and we do not make any investment recommendations. However, an IPO is an opportunity to make a ground floor investment at the IPO price which is attractive to investors if they like the long term prospects of the company and think the share price will rise.

What does going public mean?

When a company becomes publicly owned, it means it has sold its shares and stocks on an exchange, has entered the competition against other companies and markets and has the potential to expand its business beyond private boundaries. But this also means that a new set of policies and obligations will come into force - such as trying to attract investors, transparent financial reporting, business restrictions, etc.

What is the IPO allotment process

The IPO allotment process is fairly simple. Investors place bids for shares. If shares are offered at a particular fixed price (issue price), then all bids are made at that price. However, share price can also be fixed or discovered after assessing demand for the stock by the book building process. In the book building process, bids are placed within a price range and finally a price is fixed. All of the bids at the fixed price and above get shares. Thus, if you think that there are chances that a particular IPO might be in a high demand, i.e. the IPO might be over-subscribed, it's always prudent to bid for shares at the cut off price. If you choose the cut off price option while bidding for shares, you will get shares at the cut off price determined later on.
