How to decide whether to hold?

Do your homework

Thoroughly read the prospectus to understand the company's financials, market position, and how it plans to use the raised capital.

Wait for stability

Consider waiting until after the mandatory lock-in period has ended. This allows some time for the initial hype to die down and for the stock to stabilise

Valuation after Listing

Compare the stock’s valuation with peers, whether it is still reasonably priced? Or was the listing overpriced? If valuation becomes too high after listing, consider partial profit booking.

Follow long-term strategy

If you are a "buy and hold" investor, you can ignore short-term fluctuations. However, this only works if your initial choice is solid. You should take a long-term perspective grounded in the company's fundamentals, not just market sentiment.

Anchor Investor Lock-In Expiry

Large investors may sell after lock-in expiry, causing volatility. If unsure, wait and assess price trend post-lock-in.

Consult a professional

It is always a good idea to consult a financial advisor to determine what is best for your specific circumstances and risk tolerance.
