What is an IPO?

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. It is the process through which a company offers its shares to the public for the first time. Before an IPO, the company is usually privately held. If the IPO is completed successfully, the company’s shares may become publicly traded on the relevant listing exchange. Shares issued by the company represent an ownership interest in the company. An IPO is one of the ways a private company can raise capital from public investors.
IPO availability, participation requirements and trading access may vary depending on the offering, market, client eligibility and applicable regulations.
