How to invest in the MyDeal IPO

In what has been a very good year for the ecommerce industry, yet another online retailer has joined the growing list of companies set to go public in 2020. After completing a $40 million IPO, Australian company MyDeal launched onto the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 22 October under the ticker code MYD.

MyDeal is a household goods retailer best known for its online marketplace mydeal.com.au. The retailer has sold more than 1 million products so far this year and generated $103 million in gross revenue in FY20 – 164% higher than the previous period.

2. Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, like your ID and bank information. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
3. Search for MyDeal. Find the stock by name or ticker symbol: MYD. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment against your financial goals.
4. Purchase now or later. Buy today with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until MyDeal stock reaches your desired price. To spread out your purchase, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying at consistent intervals and amounts.
5. Decide on how many to buy. Weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimise risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of MyDeal, depending on your broker.
6. Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of MyDeal. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock, and even the business, performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights on directors and management that can affect your stock.
