The Basics
What Are Pre-IPO Allocations?
A pre-IPO allocation is an investment in a private company's shares before it lists on a public exchange such as the ASX, usually in a final funding round before the float.
Investing early can mean buying in at a lower valuation than the eventual listing price. It also carries higher risk: listings can be delayed or cancelled, and shares are usually illiquid until the company floats.
Culsans sources allocations through our network of corporate advisers, brokers and founders, and carries out due diligence before any opportunity is offered to clients.

Before you decide. Pre-IPO investments are high risk and are generally only available to wholesale or sophisticated investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001. Only invest money you can afford to have tied up for several years, or to lose. This is general information only.
