What happens after my US e-IPO shares are allocated, and can I sell them right away?
Allocated US e-IPO shares appear in your US Stocks holdings on the stock's listing day, the same day it starts trading on the exchange. You can technically sell them as soon as trading is live — there's no lock-up period — though Pluang recommends holding for at least 30 days to avoid "flipping."
Key facts:
- Shares appear in your portfolio on listing day, under US Stocks holdings.
- No lock-up period, but Pluang's broker partner monitors repeated "flipping" (immediate post-IPO selling); consistent flipping can limit access to future IPOs.
- Recommended holding period: at least 30 days when possible.
- Standard US Stocks selling fees apply once sold — no special IPO selling fee.

Selling IPO shares immediately after listing; repeated flipping can limit access to future IPOs.
