Clarification

The reference of IPO Grey Market Premium (IPO GMP) is only valid for the date specified in the header.
On the IPO Grey Market, we do not purchase or sell IPO forms.

The Kostak Rate is the profit earned by selling an IPO application (in an off-market transaction) to somebody else before the issue is allotted or listed.

Do not subscribe to an IPO based solely on the premium price, as it may alter at any time before to the listing. Only consider the fundamentals of the companies when subscribing.

The GMP rates for IPOs are based on market intelligence. Please keep in mind that these IPO GMP rates may vary by geography and market.

Note:

We do not engage in grey market trading or facilitate the purchase or sale of IPO forms.

What is grey Market Premium?

The Grey Market Premium, or GMP, is the price at which IPO stock shares are exchanged in the grey market.

This could be correct or incorrect, implying that the grey market trading price is greater or cheaper than the issue price, depending on demand and supply for the stocks.

Typically, individuals who do not want to incur the risk of their shares not being allocated through an IPO can purchase shares on the grey market in the hopes of flipping them on the IPO for a profit.

Kostak rate

The Kostak rate is the fee received by an investor who sells his or her IPO application on the grey market. Regardless of allotment status, this is the money an individual stands to gain.

Subject to Sauda

The money that an investor stands to gain by selling his or her application for firm allotment is referred to as the subject to Sauda. Firm allocation is the important operative phrase here. The sauda will be cancelled if the applicant is not allotted.

When selling an IPO application in the grey market, the client and seller agree that the sale will only be legal if the seller receives the allocation. The deal is avoided if the seller does not get any stocks throughout the IPO procedure.
