Rise of IPO Financing and Its Mechanics

IPO financing has become popular due to the desire of investors to leverage their investments by borrowing money. High net worth individuals often subscribe to popular IPOs with funds obtained through these loans, causing massive oversubscription. Entities like wealth managers offer IPO financing by issuing commercial papers to raise short-term funds. Despite the risks, the practice yields high interest rates for lenders while investors face the prospect of paying high interest even without getting IPO allotments.
