IPO & Unlisted Shares
Understand new issues and pre-IPO opportunities before you invest.
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a company offers its shares to the public for the first time and lists on a stock exchange. Unlisted shares are shares of companies not yet listed — often of firms planning a future IPO — and are bought and sold privately. Both require careful reading of disclosures, an understanding of valuation, and patience with liquidity.

Frequently asked questions
Is IPO allotment guaranteed?
No. Oversubscribed issues are allotted according to the prescribed allotment process.
Can I sell unlisted shares easily?
Not always. Unlisted shares may have limited buyers and price discovery.
Risk considerations
IPO allotment is not guaranteed and listing prices can be below the issue price. Unlisted shares are illiquid, carry valuation and information risk, and may be subject to lock-in after listing. No live prices, listings or returns are shown here.
