Exploration company 8 Au is set to list soon on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), which means that you'll be able to buy company shares. Here's what we know about the initial public offering (IPO), including how to invest before it lists and how to buy in when it lists.
Where to invest in the 8 Au IPO
You can invest in pre-IPO stock through a participating broker or lead manager before the offer closes on 30 November 2021. In this case, the 8 Au IPO is being lead managed by Bell Potter Securities Limited.
If you're already registered with a broker, check if they're offering pre-listed stock or think about signing up to a participating broker.
However, it can be tricky for regular investors to participate in IPOs because only a few firms are usually allocated pre-IPO stock. In most cases, these are full-service brokers that require a large initial deposit.
Your other easier option is to buy shares in 8 Au once it goes public. You can do that through a share trading platform:
