SME IPO process has the relative ease with which companies can raise capital compared to their larger counterparts. This puts the onus on the investors to look deeper into a company before deciding to invest. So, are SME IPOs more suitable for HNIs than retail investors? Rahul Bhutoria, Co-founder & Director, Valtrust pens down an article for LiveMint explaining the unique risks involved in SME IPOs and the enhancements that can be done to bolster investor participation.

Last year 182 companies getting listed via IPOs on the SME exchange. This year, we have seen 87 SME IPOs, many oversubscribed by 500-1,000 times. However, SME IPOs, while lucrative, come with unique risks. With 82% of SMEs providing positive returns on listing day, interest from wealthy investors is building up, underscoring the need for regulatory enhancements to ensure robust participation and investor protection. I shared my views in a article for LiveMint on this. #SMEIPOs #HNI

Interesting take Neil Shah as always 🥂, Let's put this in perspective, In the past, European IPOs such as #Spotify's direct listing in 2018 and the IPO of #DeutscheBank 🏦 in 1994 set precedents in their respective eras. Spotify's direct listing was groundbreaking for its unconventional approach, avoiding underwriters and allowing existing shareholders to sell directly into the market. However, this method did not focus on rapid, repeated offerings within a short period. In contrast, Deutsche Bank’s IPO was one of the largest at the time, raising substantial capital but primarily targeting institutional investors with a less dynamic approach to follow-on offerings. Compared to these, #BCG's multiple sell-downs in a short timeframe illustrate a more aggressive and flexible strategy, indicating a shift towards greater market responsiveness and investor engagement. The London Stock Exchange has hosted numerous significant IPOs, such as #Glencore in 2011 and #RoyalMail in 2013. Glencore's IPO was one of the largest in the exchange’s history, raising £36.34 billion (€42.48 billion). However, its follow-on activities were limited compared to BCG's multiple sell-downs. Similarly, Royal Mail's IPO was notable for its broad retail participation and subsequent rise in share price, but it did not employ the same level of repeated, accelerated book builds seen with BCG. These comparisons highlight that while historical IPOs on the London Stock Exchange were successful, BCG's approach represents a more iterative and demand-responsive model, enhancing #MarketLiquidity and #InvestorEngagement. Historically, improvements in liquidity for #IPOs often took years to fully materialize. For instance, #Alibaba's IPO in 2014, one of the largest globally, initially focused on securing significant institutional investment, with liquidity improvements occurring gradually over time. BCG's strategy of diversifying its investor base has led to a rapid increase in liquidity, contrasting sharply with these historical trends. The strong demand from long-term investors and the ability to anchor deals effectively demonstrate an evolution in how liquidity is managed and enhanced in modern IPOs. The progress seen in BCG's IPO and subsequent sell-downs compared to historical examples in European markets and the London Stock Exchange reflects significant advancements in capital-raising #strategies. These developments suggest a more sophisticated and responsive market environment, offering valuable insights for #future IPOs. As capital markets continue to develop, leveraging such innovative approaches can lead to more successful outcomes, benefiting #companies, #investors, and #financial_institutions alike.
