GenusPlus shares are now publicly available to purchase on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Here's how you can buy in.

How to invest in the GenusPlus 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 lead manager is Bell Potter.

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 GenusPlus once it goes public. To do that, you'll need to be signed up to a share trading platform:
