Why invest in pre-IPO Funds?
Balanced Risk-Reward Profile: A balanced risk-reward profile provides a middle path between risky investments in early-stage companies and lower-reward stocks after they go public. In the last ten years, investments made before companies go public have consistently performed better than the overall stock market. Specifically, the index tracking these pre-public investments has shown around 9% better performance compared to India’s Nifty50 index.
Influence and Growth Potential: Before a company goes public, investors have the opportunity to influence important decisions and help the company grow. Historical data indicates that companies receiving investments before their IPOs have typically seen returns ranging from 25% to 40%. At Finvolve, they take an active role by offering guidance and support to enhance the growth of these companies.
Attractive Valuations: Investors can buy shares at prices much lower than what they would pay after the company goes public. This opportunity also includes the chance to buy shares from existing shareholders. This investment phase offers the potential for significant profit as companies move towards becoming publicly traded.
Liquidity Opportunities: Moving to public markets offers liquidity, letting investors sell shares for profit once trading starts. Historical performance of pre-IPO funds shows that an INR 100 Crores investment could potentially grow to INR 371.3 Crores in 5 years, assuming a 30% annual return.
