What are Private Placements?

A private placement is an offering of unregistered securities to a limited pool of potential investors, which is frequently illiquid and valued only periodically.

With this, investors can buy shares from a closed group of investors rather than to the general public through the open market.

In a private placement, a company sells shares of private placement stock or funds in the company in exchange to institutional investors for cash. This type of investment allows investors to purchase shares of entities, like hedge funds, oil and gas funds, subsidiaries, and private stocks that aren’t from public companies traded in capital markets or registered with the SEC.

Navigation Tip:

Do your due diligence before investing in private placements as some are not regulated by the SEC. A financial professional can help with your review.

Private Placements Types

In the realm of private placements, understanding the various types of securities offerings is crucial for informed investment decisions. Unlike an initial public offering (IPO), private placements involve the issuance and sale of securities directly to a select group of investors, often without the need for a public prospectus. This allows issuers to raise capital more efficiently and with greater flexibility.
