Dos and Don’ts of  Primary Market

Investing in the stock market offers a variety of opportunities, one of which is the primary market, often referred to as the IPO market. Here, investors buy securities directly from companies before their stocks start trading in the secondary market. While the primary market presents opportunities for profit, it is not without risks. Fraud can occur in any market, so investors must approach primary market dealings with caution and diligence.

What is the Primary Market?

The primary market is the source of new securities where companies, governments, or agencies issue debt-based and equity-based instruments to raise funds. Facilitated by underwriters and investment bankers, the primary market sets the stage for new securities by establishing their initial price range. After the sale in the primary market, these securities become available for trading in the secondary market. As a potential investor, it’s crucial to understand the dos and don’ts of dealing in the primary market to ensure informed and secure investment decisions.

Dos and Don’ts of Primary Market Dealing

Investor awareness plays a vital role in safeguarding the functioning of the market. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the primary market:

Dos of Primary Market Dealing

1. Examine the Prospectus Carefully SEBI mandates companies to issue a prospectus before launching an IPO. This document includes vital details such as:
  • The promoter’s background
  • Company history
  • Financial statements
  • Risk factors and long-term prospects always review this document thoroughly before investing.
  2. Report Inaccuracies in the Red Herring Prospectus- If you find inaccuracies or incomplete details in the prospectus, raise your concerns with the merchant bankers or officers mentioned in the document. 3. Align the IPO with Your Goals- Evaluate the objective of the IPO, whether it aligns with your goals, such as capital appreciation or earning a steady income through interest. 4. Research the Underwriter- Investigate the reputation and track record of the underwriter managing the IPO. A reputable underwriter is often a good indicator of a credible offer. 5. Verify Stockbroker Registration- Ensure your stockbroker or agent is registered with SEBI. Dealing with unlicensed brokers increases your risk of fraud. 6. Open a Demat Account- A Demat Account is mandatory for investing in the stock market. If you don’t receive IPO shares post-allotment, contact the issuer’s compliance team.

Don’ts of Primary Market Dealing

1. Don’t Follow the Hype blindly- Avoid being swayed by buzz created by investment bankers or media? Always analyse the company’s fundamentals, image, and long-term prospects before investing. 2. Don’t Invest in What You Don’t Understand- Steer clear of businesses or sectors that are unfamiliar to you. Investment experts consistently warn against the risks of investing in companies you don’t understand. 3. Don’t Ignore Market Conditions- Consider the company’s potential under different market conditions—not just the current market scenario that may temporarily favor its performance. 4. Don’t Rely Solely on Promoters’ Claims- Promoters may exaggerate potential returns. Always verify their claims with independent research and realistic expectations. 5. Don’t Borrow Money to Invest- Investing with borrowed funds can amplify your financial stress and losses if the IPO doesn’t perform as expected. 6. Don’t Expect Unrealistic Returns- While some IPOs may list at a premium, this is not always the case. Maintain realistic expectations regarding both short-term and long-term gains.

IPO Investment: A Risky but Rewarding Venture

IPO investments inherently carry risks. Without informed decisions, you could lose your initial capital, particularly if the IPO fails to list at a premium. Two critical factors for long-term success in IPO investments are:
  • Research: Conduct thorough due diligence on the company and market trends.
  • Patience: Avoid rushing into decisions based on greed.
Finally, always ensure that the IPO aligns with your overall financial goals and risk tolerance. Avoid offers that do not complement your investment strategy.   Kickstart your investment journey in IPOs seamlessly with RMoney. Open your Demat Account to invest today!
