Initial Public Offerings (IPO) are one of the best exit strategies considered by the companies to raise fresh money. After the company is publicly listed and bought by institutional and retail investors those who hold shares of the company are termed as the shareholders of that company and thus get a voting right.

IPO allotment is very beneficial for the investors, as they get companies at under priced rates and while buying the shares, they do not have to pay any brokerage amount. But it works when an investor does his homework and the homework is to study the upcoming IPOs.

In the blog, we will discuss some of the best ways to track upcoming IPOs

Google News is the best source to find news articles related to upcoming public offerings. You can also find an experts’ point of view on each of the companies. This will give you a basic understanding of the company and then you can research further to know more.

●    Websites Of Exchanges

National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) are always the first ones to know about the listing after the company has filed a red herring prospectus with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Websites of exchanges are your most reliable source of information.

Conclusion

 IPOs do not always provide a premium on the money invested. Sometimes, the IPO opens at discounted rates and the investors lose money. Investors who have less risk appetite and those who stay away from share market trading can look at this as a great opportunity to multiply their investment amount in a very short time.

Though it is not an easy task, it requires a lot of time and research to find a well-trusted company. The shares are allotted on a lottery basis so the probability of shares being allotted to retail investors is very less as compared to High-net-worth investors.
