Listed SMEs are small and medium enterprises that have raised funds from the public. These companies are listed on the NSE or BSE through a SME IPO.
Shares of listed SMEs trade in a similar manner to all other listed shares, with some differences:
- SME shares are traded in lots. A lot consists of x number of shares. For example, you can buy 1 share of Reliance Industries, but not 1 share of an SME company. There must be the minimum x number of shares in a lot as specified by the stock exchange.
- SMEs are listed on only one of the exchanges - either the BSE or the NSE.
The SME IPO platforms enable new early-stage companies and small, high-value organizations to raise capital so they can develop, grow and move to the main exchanges (BSE and NSE).
Note:
- Most listed SMEs move to the mainboard after two years.
- All brokers offer the facility to trade in listed SME companies.
- Trading volume in listed SME companies is relatively low.
