How can the average retail or small investor participate in an IPO?

Question

If you know how, would you mind listing the brokerage houses and their minimum amounts needed to participate?

Thanks!

Answer 1

One place is through your broker. But they'll usually only have the IPO's in which they're helping underwrite.

For example, Fidelity has an alert that you can opt-in to that'll tell you of their IPOs as they come up and you can click on it to learn about the company and how to invest in it if you're interested. For their IPO's you usually need $100K in a semiactive acct, or just $500K in assets deposited with them.

Good luck!
