Unlisted Shares Overview

Ways to Access Unlisted Shares

Our Unlisted Shares services are built around three common ways investors gain exposure to pre-listed companies: pre-IPO shares, ESOP monetisation and private company shares.

Pre-IPO Shares

Invest Before a Company Goes Public

  • Exposure to high-growth private companies
  • Potential listing gains, subject to market conditions
  • Longer investment horizons typical
  • Availability depends on deal flow
