Grey Market:

The unauthorised trading of shares of a firm by traders is known as an initial public offering (IPO) grey market. This occurs prior to the company issuing the shares in an Initial Public Offering (IPO). There aren’t any laws and restrictions because this market is an unofficial one. These transactions do not involve market regulators like the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Additionally, the regulator does not support this.

Grey markets are typically operated by a small group of people. Every transaction is founded on mutual trust.

Grey Market Premium:

Before being listed on the stock exchange, shares of grey market IPOs are traded at a premium rate known as the “grey market premium” (GPM). Simply said, shares of the company that launched its initial public offering (IPO) were acquired and sold off the stock market.

The GPM depicts potential outcomes for the IPO on the day of listing.
