With unlisted companies, you have the opportunity to participate in their success even before they go public through an initial public offering (IPO). Many growth companies and even established ones choose not to pursue an IPO due to the high costs and regulatory requirements involved. By investing directly in these companies, you bypass intermediaries and have the chance to support businesses across various industries, stages of growth, and geographical regions. This direct investment gives you a unique opportunity to have a direct influence on the development and trajectory of the company.
