Understanding the SME Segment Risks
SME IPOs have gained popularity due to stellar listing gains. However, this high return potential comes with structural risks unique to the SME exchange. The risk assessment desk at SP RESEARCHVIA PVT. LTD. highlights key considerations.
What is the biggest risk in SME IPO investing?
Liquidity risk. Since trading is conducted in large lot sizes, exiting a position can be difficult during market downturns when buyers disappear.
Governance and Information Symmetry
SME companies have less stringent reporting requirements compared to mainboard listings. Conduct thorough due diligence on promoter track records and search for any prior defaults before investing.
