Unlisted shares give you access to companies before they reach the public markets — either through pre-IPO placements or the secondary market for existing unlisted equity. For investors with a 2–4 year horizon and an appetite for higher risk in exchange for the potential of significant upside, unlisted shares represent one of the most direct ways to participate in a company's growth story before the broader market gets access.
Acquire shares in companies that have announced or are widely expected to file for an IPO — typically at a valuation that reflects a discount to the anticipated listing price. The window to enter closes once the DRHP is filed and the issue opens to the public.
Buy existing unlisted equity from promoters, angel investors or early employees who are seeking partial liquidity. These are typically companies with established revenue, a clear business model and a credible listing or acquisition timeline ahead.
Employees holding vested ESOPs in unlisted companies can explore secondary sales through our network of buyers and intermediaries — converting paper wealth into liquid capital without waiting for a listing event.
Unlike listed shares, there is no continuous exchange order book. Selling before a listing or acquisition event depends on finding a willing buyer — which may take time and involve price negotiation.
The value of your holding between entry and exit is not marked to market daily. Pricing is by reference to the last transaction, which may not reflect current market conditions.
IPO timelines shift. A company expected to list in 12 months may delay by a further year or more. Invest only capital you can afford to hold for longer than your original horizon.
