Pre-IPO FAQs
Common questions about Pre-IPO, answered in plain language.
What are pre-IPO or unlisted shares?
Shares of companies that are not yet listed on a stock exchange, usually bought from existing shareholders such as employees or early investors. Read more on our Pre-IPO Investing page.
Which shares are available now?
Availability and indicative prices change frequently. Contact us for the current list.
Can I sell on the day the company lists?
No. Shares held before the IPO by non-promoters are locked in for six months from the date of allotment in the IPO.
What if the company never lists?
You would need to find a buyer in the unlisted market, which may be difficult or possible only at a lower price. A listing is never assured, which is why unlisted shares are considered high-risk and illiquid.
