What is the IPO Market Cap ($1b) CFD?

The IPO Market Cap ($1b) is a CFD market that lets you speculate on what an upcoming IPO market capitalization for a given company could be when or if it lists. The price is quoted in USD billions. For example, if the market is priced at 350, this represents a potential market capitalization of USD 350 billion.

How does the IPO Market Cap ($1b) market settle?

If a given company completes their IPO, open positions will be settled against the company’s official market capitalization at the close of its first day of trading. If the IPO is delayed, canceled, or the listing terms change, the CFD market may be adjusted, suspended or closed in line with our pricing and market procedures.

Is the IPO Market Cap ($1b) market the same as trading company shares?

No. You are not buying the actual shares and you will not receive shareholder rights, voting rights or dividends. This CFD market lets you take a position on the company’s potential valuation before it lists. If it goes public, the company’s share CFDs may become available separately on the platform.

Where can I find the IPO Market Cap ($1b) market on the platform?

Log into your account and search for a given company’s IPO Market Cap ($1b) instrument or find it in Popular Markets. You can view the latest trading hours, margin, dealing details, and charges in the market information panel before placing your trade.
