Frequently Asked Questions
How do I invest in UK IPOs?
Open a brokerage account with a UK-regulated firm (Hargreaves Lansdown, AJ Bell, Interactive Investor, IG) or use an international broker (Interactive Brokers, Saxo). Some UK IPOs offer retail tranches via intermediaries; others are institutional-only.
What is the difference between LSE Main Market and AIM?
The Main Market is for established companies meeting Premium or Standard segment rules, with strict eligibility and reporting. AIM (Alternative Investment Market) is for smaller growth firms with lighter rules, lower costs, and no minimum market cap requirement.
Who regulates UK IPOs?
UK IPOs are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) via the UK Listing Authority. The FCA approves prospectuses and oversees continuing obligations.
What is the typical lockup for UK IPOs?
Lockups in UK IPOs vary — typically 180 days for founders and early investors, shorter for some institutions. The terms are disclosed in the prospectus at pricing.
How does LSE IPO allocation work?
Most LSE IPOs use a book-building process led by global coordinators. Institutional orders dominate; retail allocations come via intermediary platforms (PrimaryBid, Interactive Investor) or employee/shareholder offers. There is no fixed retail quota like in India.
