IPO vs Pre-IPO: How to Decide
IPO subscription and Pre-IPO allocation carry different risks. Confirm lock-up and break risk first.
Two different things
- IPO: subscribe at listing, usually tradeable after listing
- Pre-IPO: subscribe before listing, usually locked
- Both can fall below the issue price
Checklist before participating
- Confirm target, valuation range and lock-up
- Confirm funding and exit path
- Only allocate what you can afford to lose
