Subscribe to Initial Public Offering (IPO), Follow-on Offering (FOO), Stock Rights Offering (SRO), or Tender Offer (TO) thru FirstMetroSec

Updated

Online clients of FirstMetroSec can access the facility for subscribing to the latest IPO, FOO, and SRO using the current available cleared funds in their account. Cleared funds are part of the total Buying Power, the amount of which is equivalent to transactions (trades, fund transfers, cash dividends, etc.) that have already been subject to clearing or available for withdrawal. All open orders affect the total buying power and may in turn affect the amount of available cleared funds in the portfolio. Only cleared or withdrawable funds are usable in IPO, FOO, and SRO subscriptions.
