Introduction to Direct Equity & IPO Investments

Direct Equity allows investors to buy ownership in publicly traded companies, giving them a share in profits and voting rights. Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are opportunities to invest in companies at the ground floor before they list on the stock exchange. At Fastzeal, we help you seamlessly enter the equity market and participate in IPOs with expert guidance, tech-enabled platforms, and in-depth research.

What is Direct Equity?

Direct equity means investing directly in the shares of companies listed on stock exchanges like NSE and BSE. These investments are made via a Demat and trading account and involve active management by the investor or portfolio advisor.

Types of Equity Investments

1)       Blue-Chip Stocks: Large, stable companies with a history of strong performance.

2)       Mid & Small-Cap Stocks: Potentially higher returns but come with increased risk.

3)       Dividend Stocks: Regular dividend payments provide passive income.

Types of IPOs:

1. Book Building IPOs – Price is discovered within a price band

2. Fixed Price IPOs – Shares offered at a pre-decided price

3. Offer for Sale (OFS) – Existing shareholders sell their stake

4. Fresh Issue – Company issues new shares to raise capital
