A company's going public, also known as a company's initial public offering (IPO), refers to the company's initial offering of shares to the public at an estimated price range to raise capital from the public. Public investors who subscribed to IPOs may get an opportunity to buy the new stock at the actual offering price on the listing date.
The IPO subscription is a service provided for individual investors by Moomoo Financial Inc.. After we receive an allocation from the underwriter, we will re-allocate to individual investors. We aim to offer every investor an opportunity to participate in the IPO subscriptions.
Investors can check the available IPOs via app > Accounts > IPO > US.
The start time of an IPO subscription depends on the time of IPO roadshows arranged by the company as well as the underwriter, and it may vary for each stock. Please refer to the subscription details for the opening time.
The subscription time of an IPO may be uncertain and usually relatively short. It may start just 1-2 days before the IPO. If the IPO is over-subscribed, the underwriter may stop accepting the IPO subscriptions in advance, and investors won't be able to subscribe via Moomoo Financial Inc. anymore.
IPO subscription fees:
| Type | Fees | Charging Party |

Please refer to the IPO subscription page for more details.
According to relevant US regulations, certain groups of people may be considered "Restricted Persons" and cannot participate in the IPO subscription.
Clients thus need to complete a "Restricted Person Statement" in advance to see if they are qualified for an IPO subscription. Please refer to FINRA Rules for more details.
You may cancel your subscription before the expected deadline. Also, you can amend your subscription after canceling the initial subscription and re-submit the revised version. Please be aware of the expected deadline on the IPO subscription page.
You can check your subscription history via app > Accounts > IPO > US > History. Please click Cancel if you would like to make a cancellation.
It is hard for individual investors to purchase US IPOs directly. However, they can get new shares via allocations, which are determined by underwriters and brokers. After brokers receive allocations, they will re-allocate shares to individual investors. There is no uniform rule for allocations.
Moomoo Financial Inc. adopted general allocation and weighted allocation strategies when re-allocating.
● General allocation: Moomoo Financial Inc. tries to allocate shares to every investor.
● Weighted allocation: Investors who subscribed for a greater quantity will be allocated more shares.
Shares will usually be allocated on the listing date. Moomoo Financial Inc. will re-allocate shares to investors once we receive the allocation from the underwriter and then announce the allocation results.
You can check your allocation result via the Subscription Record page or the system notification.
Note: After announcing the allocation results, Moomoo Financial Inc. needs to do the final confirmation with the underwriter before opening trades for IPO shares. Please be aware there might be a delay.
The allocated shares' dollar amount will be debited from your Moomoo Financial Inc. account on the allocation date.
Moomoo Financial Inc. supports US IPO subscriptions and trades. You can click app > Accounts > US Margin Account to check your assets, including stocks and cash.
After the settlement of allocated shares, funds will be posted to your Moomoo Financial Inc. account. You can check your current assets via app > Accounts > US Margin Account.
