SHADOW MARKET

Shadow Market is market that is private and unregulated. It is where investors can find the companies that are not publicly traded and are selling. Shadow markets give investors the advantage of being able to buy prior to their initial public offering (IPO). The catch though, is that the investor must an ‘accredited investor’ or someone that has a net worth that is more than $1 million to be qualified to participate in this non-transparent market as mandated by the SEC.
