Preparing an IPO

When a corporation decides to go public a portion of it will be put up for sale to the public

through the sale of stock. An IPO is the first offering of shares of a privately held to have an

IPO is to bring money into the Business. It is often the main way that a startup company will

be able to make the money it needs to succeed in the market.

10

To preparing an IPO there are 5 steps available & they are given below:

1. Determine if company is eligible to go public: in order to qualify for an IPO,

generally the business must be proven to be profitable and have a significant amount

of assets. Since there are no set requirements to define eliginlity, consider scheduling

a meeting with an investment banker on outside consultant to determine whether your

company is of the type that the public would want to invest in.

2. Contract with an investment banker: an investment banker will help determine

how much money you should raise, at what price the shares should be sold, and what

portion of the company should be offered in the IPO. The investment banker serves as

an underwriter in that will agree to purchase all of the shares that the company

decides to offer.

3. Draft a prospect and file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):

The SEC call this document “S-1” Its purpose is to disclose the details of the

company. In the initial prospectus the first document filed the firms of the IPO C the

number of shares and the price per share will likely no be finalized, but they are

included as an estimate of what the final terms will be the initial prospectus is filed

early on the IPO process. In the final prospectus, filed shortly before the IPO. The

amount of shares and share price of the offering are fixed.

Present the opportunity to potential shareholders: Before the actual IPO, the Banker and

the corporation’s top officials will give presentations to individuals and offer organizations to

entice them to purchase the shares of the IPO. The investment banker selects the potential

investors based on the type of business that wishes to go public and the interest that the

potential investor may have in the corporation. This process results in non-binding

commitments called “subscriptions”, to purchase shares. It is Longley used as a tool to

determine whatever the public will be interest in investing in the company, as discussed in the

first step, as well as to determine the price of the shares.

4. Sell the shares to the investment banker: On the day of the IPO, The investment

banker will purchase the shares and simultaneously sell them to investors. The

banker’s purchase price is the IPO price minus the commission, which usually havers

around 7 percent. The shares can now be publicly traded.

ROLE OF CAPITAL MARKET

The primary role of the capital market is to raise long-term funds for governments, banks,

and corporations while providing a platform for the trading of securities. This fund rising is

regulated by the performance of the stock and bond markets within the capital market.

Bangladesh capital market is one of the smallest in Asia but the third largest in the south Asia

region. It has two full-fledged automated stock exchanges namely - Dhaka Stock Exchange

(DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE). It also consists of a dedicated regulator, the

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), since, it implements rules and regulations,

monitors their implications to operate and develop the capita market.

Nature of Dhaka Stock Exchange

There are four markets in the system

Public Market

Only trading of market lot share is done here through automatic matching.

Spot Market

Spot transactions are done here through automatic matching which must be settled within 24

hours.

Block Market

A place where bulk quantities of shares are traded through pick and fill basis.

Market System:

Buying a Mutual Fund Directly from a Mutual Fund CompanyIf we know you want to have your money invested in a specific mutual fund, you can

often open an account directly with the mutual fund itself. We have to fill out

paperwork online, mail it in with a check, and tell the company whether want to open

a regular account, or a special account such as a retirement Roth IRA or Traditional

IRA. We can even set it up so that the mutual fund automatically makes investments

for by regularly withdrawing money from our checking or savings account each

month! This technique, called dollar cost averaging, is a fantastic way to smooth out

the average price you pay for our mutual fund shares and helps lower the risk that put

12

all your money in the market at a peak, such as the day before the dot-com crash orthe

Wall Street meltdown that started the Great Recession in 2008.

The biggest advantage to buying mutual fund shares directly from the mutual fund

company itself is that we often won't get charged a commission, meaning more money

goes into our investments and is working for you.

For example: The ticker symbol is a short code assigned by the stock exchange to represent an

investment. If you were buying shares of Coca-Cola, for example, the ticker symbol is KO. If you

were buying shares of the Tweedy Browne Global Value Fund, a mutual fund, tend the basics of

using mutual funds in your portfolio

5 Ways to Place Your Stock Order

There are five different types of stock orders that your broker will likely let you use. They

are:

1. Market Order

2. Limit Order

3. Stop Order

4. Stop-Limit Order

5. Trailing Stop Order

Market Order:

A market order is a request to purchase or sell a stock at the current market price. Market

orders are pretty much the standard stock purchase order. One thing to keep in mind with a

market order is the fact that you don't control how much you pay for your stock purchase or

sale; the market does. This shortcoming can be met with a limit order.

Limit Order:

This is an order that executes at a specific price that you set (or better) and can be open for a

specific time period. While a limit order will prevent you from buying or selling your stock at

a price that you don't want, if the price is way off base, the order will never execute. It's

important to note that some brokers charge more for limit orders. Why? No execution means

no commission.

13

Stop Order:

This is a market order that is triggered once your stock reaches a specific target price, the

stop price. Stop orders may also be called stop-loss orders, because they help investors put

constraints on their losses.

Stop-Limit Order:

This is identical to the stop order, except for the fact that a limit order is triggered once your

stock reaches a specific target price.

Trailing Stop:

Basically, this is a stop order based on a percentage change in the market price.

When you put an order in to your broker, you can choose how long the order stays open. By

default, orders are day orders, meaning that they are valid until the end of the trading day.

Good-'til-canceled orders remain open until you actually go in and cancel them.
