Following the SpaceX IPO, Anthropic is the second megacap US company pitching its IPO directly to Aussie retail investors via CommSec. I missed the SpaceX IPO, though I held an indirect interest via Pengana Private Equity (PE1.AX). We didn't have a international share trading account with CommSec because we use Interactive Brokers for international trades. Now we have applied for an account for our SMSF in the last few days and it was approved today. I sold some shares in our existing CommSec account to raise AUD 50k in cash, which we should receive on Friday. The deadline to apply for the IPO is 5pm Tuesday, so we should make it. I'm expecting that our bid will be cut back, though I would be happy to receive AUD 50k's worth of shares. My plan is that this is a trade rather than investment. We already have exposure to Anthropic via PE1 and AIX, which is Pengana's AI listed private equity fund.
