Software-defined networking tool and SD-WAN provider ActivePort is set to list soon on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), which means that you'll be able to buy company shares.
ActivePort had looked to raise $10,000,000 - $15,000,000 at $0.20 a share in its initial public offering (IPO). Although the dates and prices may change, the company is pegged to begin trading publicly on the ASX on 30 September 2021.
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.
How to invest in the ActivePort IPO
To invest in an IPO, you'll typically need to be registered with a participating broker or lead manager. This can be tricky for regular investors because only a few firms are allocated IPO stock and they're most often full-service brokers. In this case, the IPO is being lead managed by Bridge Street Capital Partners.
If you're already registered with a broker, it always pays to check if they're offering pre-listed IPO stock, as lead managers sometimes allocate a portion of shares on to other firms. Your other option is to buy shares in ActivePort once it goes public. To do that, you'll need to be signed up to a share trading platform:
