Explore Unlisted Shares & Pre-IPO Companies

UnlistedKraft brings a wide range of unlisted or pre-IPO shares under its platform to make it easier for investors to compare indicative prices, check the minimum quantity required, and explore companies across different sectors.But before you invest in these shares, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages associated with these shares, what can influence their price, how the buying and selling process works, and where these shares are traded.

Benefits of Investing in Unlisted Shares

Here are the key benefits of investing in unlisted shares:

Unlisted Shares

Early investment opportunity

Investing in unlisted shares means you are investing in a company before its IPO or stock market listing. This gives you a potential opportunity to benefit from its future value creation if the company proposes an IPO and performs well.

Unlisted Shares

Access to high-growth companies

Many unlisted companies operate in sectors that are now attracting major investor interest, such as technology, financial services, renewable energy, healthcare and consumer businesses. Investing in unlisted companies at an earlier stage can provide exposure to such companies that may grow significantly over time.

Unlisted Shares

Portfolio Diversification

Investing in unlisted shares gives a good opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio with investments that are comparatively less prone to be affected by unfavourable market movements like global market shifts, interest rate changes, etc.

Unlisted Shares

Potential for Long-term Wealth Creation

Investment in unlisted shares has high potential for long-term wealth creation since growth in the company’s revenue, profits, and market position over time will lead to higher valuation.

Every investment opportunity comes with both benefits and risks, and the same happens with unlisted shares. They can give you access to companies before they become available on the stock exchange, but they also come with risks that you should know about.

Challenges or Risks of Investing in Unlisted Shares

Here are some of the key challenges or risks associated with investing in unlisted shares.

Limited Liquidity

Unlisted shares do not trade on NSE or BSE, so there is no live market constantly matching buyers and sellers. Finding a buyer may take a few hours, days, or even months. Therefore, selling your shares immediately for urgent funds may not always be possible.

Limited Information

Listed companies regularly provide updated information and annual reports to SEBI. Unlisted companies are not directly regulated in the same way, so sufficient and updated information may not always be easily available. This can make investment decisions more difficult.

No Fixed Exit Timeline

Your money may remain invested longer than planned if the company’s IPO is delayed or a buyer is not easily available. Unlisted shares may also be subject to a six-month lock-in period from the date of listing.

Lower Price Transparency

There is no live market price for unlisted shares. Prices are usually based on recent transactions, investor demand, and available supply. As a result, different platforms may offer slightly different prices for the same company.

What Factors Affect Unlisted Share Prices?

Even though unlisted shares are not traded on stock exchanges, their prices may change because of the following factors.

Demand and Supply

Demand and supply are among the most important pricing factors. If more investors want to buy and only a few shareholders are willing to sell, the price may rise. If the number of sellers increases, the price may fall.

Company Performance

Revenue growth, profitability, debt levels, business expansion, and overall financial performance can influence how investors value an unlisted company and determine the price of its shares.

Expected IPO or Listing Update

News about a proposed IPO, DRHP filing, or an upcoming stock exchange listing can increase investor demand. Higher demand may eventually increase the price of the company’s unlisted shares.

Funding and Corporate Actions

Funding rounds, acquisitions, mergers, bonus issues, stock splits, and other corporate developments can change investor expectations and influence the company’s unlisted share price.

Industry and Market Trends

Changes in government policies, technology, competition, consumer demand, and industry growth can affect a company’s valuation and how investors view its future potential.

How to sell unlisted shares?

If you already have unlisted stocks and want to sell them, you can use a structured approach as follows:

Step 01

Share your investment details

You will have to share your unlisted shares’ details like company name, quantity, and your expected price with us.

 
Step 02

Finding a buyer

Once we get your details, we work to find a buyer in our network of investors to find someone looking to buy exactly what you're selling.

 
Step 03

Initiate the off-market transfer

Once the buyer is found and the price is agreed, you'll initiate an off-market transfer from your demat account to the buyer's, through CDSL or NSDL.

 
Step 04

Receive your payment:

Payment is released to your bank account once the transfer is confirmed.

Unlike listed shares, there's no instant order-matching of unlisted shares; both buying and selling depend on finding a counterparty that agrees to the quoted price and other conditions.

Where are unlisted shares traded?

Unlisted stocks don't trade on NSE or BSE. Instead, they are traded through:

Dedicated Unlisted-Share Platforms

Platforms like UnlistedKraft, where buyers and sellers are matched off-market.

Broker and Dealer Networks

Networks that specialise in pre-IPO and unlisted-share deals.

Direct or Private Deals

Shares move directly between employees, early investors, company insiders and outside buyers.

Off-Market Depository Transfers

Depositories like CDSL and NSDL facilitate the settlement of listed and unlisted-share transfers.
