Difficulty finding verified retail vs institutional IPO share allocations

💸 moneyproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 2/5

An investor reports difficulty finding the verified, final percentage or number of shares allocated to retail versus institutional investors for a specific, already completed IPO, noting that public information is often limited to general rules of thumb.

Who's affected: Individual investors researching IPO performance and allocation data

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A centralized database aggregator that scrapes and parses final IPO prospectus filings to extract and display retail vs institutional allocation data.
  2. A browser extension that overlays historical IPO allocation data onto financial news articles or brokerage trading pages.
  3. A standardized reporting requirement template for regulatory bodies to mandate clear disclosure of final share allocation splits in post-IPO filings.
