Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and bond launches
You could be one of the first to own shares or secure a significant yield from a brand you know and trust.
Important information - We do not offer advice on the suitability of any IPOs or bond launches for you. Like any investment, there are risks and it is vital that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Any decision to invest in an IPO, share offer or bond launch should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto. If you have any doubts about its suitability, please seek expert advice. The value of all investments can fall as well as rise, so you may get back less than you invested.

Risk and return
During the period between the Intention to Float announcement and the start of the Offer Period, the intention may be withdrawn. Any publication of an IPO or bond launch on our website is not an endorsement of the issue, nor is it solicitation for interest in the issue. Any decision to invest in an IPO should be made solely on the basis of the Prospectus, and supplementary information. The specific risks will be detailed in the Prospectus but the value of all investments can fall as well as rise, so you may get back less than you invested.
Dividends are not guaranteed and, if paid, are variable. Companies subject to an IPO may not have a long track record and could be difficult to value or calculate a fair price for. IPOs and bond launches are therefore only likely to be a consideration for more diverse, larger portfolios. In many IPOs you will not know the purchase price before you commit to buy and therefore might end up buying at a higher price than you wished. If you have any doubts about the suitability of an IPO for your circumstances, you should seek expert advice.
Online IPO service coverage
Where possible the Hargreaves Lansdown IPO service will attempt to cover every IPO, share offer and bond launch available to retail investors. However, due to the size and specialist nature of certain IPOs, share offers and bond launches, it is not always possible. For IPOs not available via our IPO service, but where we can still apply on behalf of clients, we will make them available on a 'telephone only' basis. Extra costs may apply. If an IPO is not available to private investors, we will not be able to apply online or by telephone.
For any IPOs not detailed in this section which you are interested in, please contact our dealing desk on 0117 980 9800 and we will investigate whether you are able to participate in the IPO.
