IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
GIC IPO is the first mover in Re-insurance segment, hence going forward, it will create fancy, but considering fate of recent insurance sector IPO’s performance post listing and the mega size of this fully priced offer with wider chances of allotment, immediate rewards are unlikely. Hence cash surplus investors may consider moderate investment for long term.
