SEBI makes IPOs more transparent

The Securities and Exchange Board of India, SEBI, issued a new investor protection guideline that prevents companies doing IPO from sharing information, which is not available for the outside world, with their IPO arrangers.

Previously, a company going for an IPO shared key financial information with the investment bank arranging the IPO; information which is available only to the bank and not to others. The investment bank would then prepare research reports which are based on this extra information. The reports are shared with institutional investors prior to the filing of the prospectus and are not available to retail or ordinary investors.

So, one could easily make out that the additional information would make IPO estimations by the investment bank dealing with the IPO more accurate and give institutional investors an unfair advantage against other investors. Given this situation, the tweak from SEBI which says,
“no selective or additional information or information extraneous to the offer document shall be made available by the issuer or any member of the issue management team/syndicate to any particular section of the investors or to any research analyst in any manner whatsoever including at road shows, presentations, in research or sales reports or at bidding centers”
shall provide a level playing ground for investors alike and would bridge problems associated with information asymmetry.

A market data feed can be very handy for financial websites, news websites, blogs and even organizations that have websites. Barchart Market Data Solutions offers portal data feeds that can be easily integrated onto a site. You can even customize which exchanges are displayed and what kind of data, including end of day, delayed and others. It’s very easy to install and use, so I recommend it for websites searching for a solution.

I got into crypto space newly some months back and I have been lucky to make the most worthwhile connections. I discovered the email of an expert advisor in a forum, his email is synodx @ tutanota • com and he's one of the best financial advisors in America and Europe and fully certified, I followed his advice and I poured 15k euros in certain value stocks and digital assets, now I have up to 350k euros so far and pretty sure I'm ready to keep going up. He can assist you in building your small capital investments into sizable net-worth's of at least 6 figures !!
