Why are companies staying private for longer, funded through successive rounds of venture and growth capital, and what has that meant for the scale of returns still available to ordinary shareholders once a company finally lists?
Illiquidity, valuation and manager selection: how liquid is this exposure in practice, how are private holdings marked between funding rounds, and what separates a manager worth backing from one to avoid?
What happens inside a company during those extra years in private ownership, in terms of revenue growth, valuation step-ups and how its ownership and governance evolve before a listing?
How can individual investors access late-stage private companies, through what structures and platforms, and who qualifies under current investor classification rules?
What questions should you ask about fees, minimum investment, redemption terms and track record before making a first allocation to private markets?
Pre-IPO investing: where the growth happens before the bell
This one-hour webinar, hosted by Investors' Chronicle in partnership with Moonfare, is aimed at private investors weighing up whether, and how, to add pre-IPO exposure to their own portfolio. It will explain why companies are staying private for longer, what happens to them commercially and financially during those extra years before they list, what access routes exist for eligible investors, and the constraints and risks that come with them. This is a session about the asset class and how it might fit alongside your existing holdings, not a pitch for any individual company or listing.
