Elon Musk's SpaceX's initial public offering has triggered a massive frenzy, with the IPO being well oversubscribed with multiple institutional investors
already placing orders worth 10 billion dollar shares, the spotlight is on a record debut and listing. For retail investors wondering how they can buy shares in the US or for international investors also wondering how they can participate in what is likely to be a historic debut, we break down the details as per initial reports on how you can buy shares and participate in this historic IPO moment globally. Trading under the symbol SPCX, SpaceX has picked a handful of brokerage firms to distribute shares in the IPO to retail customers in the US and investors need to hav an eligible brokerage account, meet the basic funding requirements and submit an indication of interest. However, for international investors, they will need to submit additional eligibility requirements, follow regulatory instructions as per where they are living. For instance, most Indian retail investors are unlikely to receive direct IPO allotments because US IPO allocations are mostly controlled by underwriters and primarily distributed to institutional investors and eligible US-based retail platforms. However, Indian investors will be able to invest after the stock lists on the NASDAQ for instance via international brokerage platforms under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Given below is a list of countries where investors can buy shares or participate for SpaceX's listing as per reports.
