Most investors haven't. Which is a shame, because it means they could be missing out on a massive opportunity. Let me explain...
Xeros was floated on the stock market earlier this year for £80m. It had a strong reputation, and plenty of room for growth. It looked like a great investment proposition. But what most people didn't realise, was that there were two ways of playing it.
- A) The first way was pretty conventional. You could have put your money into the company soon after it made its IPO. And you would have made good gains from doing this - almost 10% in a matter of months.
B) You could have claimed a stake in the company before it was publicly listed and available to the wider market – back when it was still privately held.
For instance, using this second approach, you could have had an indirect stake in Xeros in 2013, when it was only valued at £21.6m. That would mean that by the time Xeros went public for £80m, you could already have made a significant profit.
And remember, this is before most investors had even had a chance to invest in the company.
But how do you buy into a company pre-IPO? Well, it's all thanks to one pretty simple approach that - unfortunately - most investors have absolutely no idea about.
The simple fact is, those who use this approach will have a chance to make more money than those who don't. That's why I'd urge you to find out how it could boost your profits right now.
So put aside whatever you were about to do, and take a moment to find out what it is. It will open your eyes to a largely unknown - and potentially much more lucrative - way of investing.
