The difference between trading and investing in Didi shares
Trading Didi shares with us means that you’ll be speculating on the price movements of the company’s shares with CFDs. Since you won’t own the underlying assets, you can speculate on both rising and falling share prices.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you can open a position with a deposit – known as margin. Trading with leverage can increase both your profits and your losses, because they’re calculated using a position’s full market exposure, not just the margin requirement to open it.

How do IPOs work?
IPOs work by having a company put its shares up for sale to the public. Some common reasons for this include seeking to raise capital for business growth, decreasing or settling debts, positioning itself to better attract and retain talent, or increasing liquidity.
The IPO process starts off with a detailed audit of the company by an external resource – it must be conducted taking all the company’s financials into consideration. Next, a registration statement needs to be prepared by the business and filed with the appropriate exchange commission. If the commission grants approval, the company can then list a set number of shares at a price determined by an investment bank.

FAQs
What are the risks of trading an IPO?
All trading activity is risky – IPOs come with additional risks, including:
- Missing important company information that might impact share prices, eg pending legal cases and intellectual property that is not patented
- Little to no trading track record to base decisions on
- Elevated market expectations that do not materialise
- Companies not meeting their target market cap
Before committing to any trade, it is important that you have all the facts that you need. In the case of trading IPOs, you can use company prospectuses, admission documents and other information to stay up-to-date. By staying informed, you can avoid risks that could affect your position in a trade.
