Pre-IPO & unlisted equity
Curated access for eligible investors — with the risks stated before the opportunity.
Summary
Pre-IPO and unlisted equity are shares in companies not yet listed on an exchange, transacted off-market. They carry materially higher risk than listed equities: no active market, no reliable price discovery, lower disclosure standards, and no assurance that any listing will occur or occur above the entry price.
Suitable only for investors who can bear a total loss
Unlisted shares may have no market when you wish to exit. Valuations are negotiated, not discovered on an exchange. Disclosure standards are materially lower than for listed companies. There is no assurance of an initial public offering, of listing at any particular price, or of any exit at all. Lock-in periods may apply post-listing.

Frequently asked questions
What are pre-IPO shares?
Pre-IPO shares are equity in a company that has not yet listed on a stock exchange, bought from existing shareholders such as employees or early investors. There is no exchange-based price discovery, and transfer happens off-market.
What are the main risks of buying unlisted shares?
The principal risks are illiquidity, valuation opacity and information asymmetry. There may be no buyer when you want to exit, no reliable market price, and disclosure standards far below those of listed companies. There is no assurance any company will list, or list above the price you paid.
Is there a lock-in on pre-IPO shares after listing?
Shares acquired before an IPO are typically subject to a lock-in period after listing under applicable SEBI regulations, during which they cannot be sold. The applicable period depends on the category of shareholder and the specifics of the issue.
