PensionBee, the app making it far easier for you to manage your pension has said it’s going to enable it’s customers to participate in it’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO) – which is where a private company becomes public and lists it’s share for sale of the London Stock Exchange.
It’s very unusual for a company to do this, an IPO is usually dominated by institutional investors who get access via the investment bank(s) who manage the floatation, and is typically very lucrative.
Romina Savova, the founder of PensionBee, said a key element of it’s IPO was allowing customers to become involved as “our customers have always been at the heart of what we do,” and “Providing our customers with an opportunity to share in our growth journey has always been a key motivation in our reasons for listing.”
PensionBee are working in partnership with PrimaryBid, a retail investor platform, in order to allow customers to participate. To qualify you must have a PensionBee account and also register your interest on PrimaryBid.
