Frequently Ask Questions

What currencies can be used in subscribing in IPO shares? Do I have to subscribe in US dollars?

For margin accounts, you can subscribe with currencies other than US dollars if there is sufficient funds. But keep in mind that it may result in borrowing fees (borrowing US dollars from Tiger Brokers). If your positions are not closed on the first day of the allocation, interest will be charged. No interest will be charged in not allocated or that the positions are closed on the first day of allocation. For cash accounts, only US dollars can be used in IPO shares subscription. You can exchange for US dollars using other currencies on the app. The ending US dollar balance should meet the minimum subscription requirement.

What is the minimum subscription amount to participate in IPO subscriptions?

Under most circumstances, the minimum required subscription amount for US listings is 100 shares. However, different companies can have different minimum requirements. You do not need to increase in multiples on top of the minimum amount, e.g. 105 shares, 120 shares, and 150 shares are all allowed. If, however, the margin in the subscriber's account is not sufficient to cover the amount filed, the subscription will be automatically reduced to the amount sufficient for margin. If the available funds in the account are not enough to cover the minimum subscription quantity, the subscription will be rejected.

What is the capital requirement for subscribing in IPO shares?

The IPO price range of the new listing will be announced upon the opening of IPO shares subscription. For omnibus accounts, the locked-up amount will be calculated using 80% of the bottom price range. The final allocation amount will not surpass the subscription amount. For instance: A subscriber subscribed for 100 shares of PDD and the IPO price ranges from 16-19 USD per share. Then the amount in lock-up will be 1,280 USD (16*80%*100 = 1,280 USD)
It should be noted that the margin associated with subscribing in IPO shares will be in lock-up to ensure successful delivery of new shares. Locked-up funds are not charges or prepayments. Funds cannot be used in other investment purposes during the lock-up period. If not allocated, the lock-up funds will automatically be released.

When does the lock-up period start?

Tiger Brokers omnibus account: Funds are in lock-up immediately after the subscription is confirmed.
Tiger global account: When subscription period ends, the subscription status should show "Confirmed".
Note: Under Tiger Brokers' global account, the funds used for subscription are not in lock-up before the subscription ends and can still be used for other investment purposes. However, after the subscription period ends, if there is not sufficient funds that satisfies the margin requirement, the subscription will be rejected.
