How to invest in the DDH1 IPO

To invest in an IPO, you'll usually need to be registered with a participating broker or lead manager. This can be tricky for retail investors because there are usually only a few firms allocated for each IPO and they're typically full-service stockbrokers. In this case, the IPO is being lead managed by Bell Potter Securities Limited, Aitken Murray Capital Partners Pty Ltd, Macquarie Capital (Australia) Limited, and UBS AG.

If you're already registered with a broker, it always pays to check if they're offering IPO stock, as lead managers sometimes allocate a portion of shares on to other firms. Your other option is to buy shares in DDH1 once it goes public. To do that, you'll need to be signed up to a share trading platform:
