What is an IPO?
IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. It is the first sale of a company's shares to the public and a way for a company to float on a stock exchange.
Companies float on a market to raise money, often to meet a specific business objective or fund further expansion. Floating a company raises its profile and allows the shares to become tradable through the secondary market (stock exchange).
The company will issue a prospectus and investors should read this carefully to weigh up the risks and rewards before deciding whether to invest.
Traditionally IPO opportunities have been restricted to institutional investors
(the Banks and Investment Houses)
