Investing In An IPO

As you all are aware that IPO was withdrawn by the companies followed by the negative sentiments that were seen in the markets. Many companies have dropped their plans to proceed with the IPO’s. But the positive sentiment that is seen with the good numbers coming out from companies and the revival of the markets to some extend has brought some of the IPO back into action. If you are unsure what is an ipo

So many of the investors would be unsure as is it the good time to invest in an IPO? Normally investors would go in for an IPO when they see that the companies’ business models are good and do have something for the future, in a medium to long term view. If you are a trader then your main focus would be to get the maximum gains on the listing day. So the first point that needs clarity is to see that you fit in which group?

In normal cases traders would just get the funds from others and invest in an ipo. If this is the case you should know that the listing should be made above the issue price and the interest you have to pay for the money plus your profits should be added to the trade. If an upturn occur and the price fall you would burn your fingers for sure.

Proper research and understanding of the business of the company is needed when you are planning for an investment. You should look into the management team, how well they have positioned themselves with their competitors, risk that the company faces, their finances etc.. You can also look into the grades that are given by the credit rating agencies. I would say do not purely depend on them alone. The issue price is important; see how they have priced their IPO with their competitors. Do not follow market rumors. Make yourself aware that if an IPO is oversubscribed it would get you listing gains.

If you are an active trader your funds would be blocked for at least from 30-45 days and you would not get the full shares if you have spend Rs. 1 lac and you would have got shares worth of Rs.10,000 It would take time to get your money back as refund.
