New Issues
New issues are investments made available to the public for the first time, before they trade on the open market.
They are most often in the form of Initial Public Offerings (IPO), where an established company lists its shares on the open market for the first time, or Retail Bonds, where companies look to raise extra capital by borrowing cash from the investor at a fixed rate for a set period.
New issues are typically introduced by companies looking to raise capital to expand their business, pay down debt, or finance other corporate activities.
Many new issues attract sizeable interest from private investors who may be looking to take advantage of demand on the primary market, before the security is bought on the secondary market, with the hope that the value of the investment will rise. However, investors must be aware that investing in new issues is not without risk and the value of your investment may fall significantly after the security is quoted on the open market.
Before investing in new issues please read our allocation policy
