A rules-based composite of GMP, subscription demand, anchor participation and comparable-IPO history — each weighted as shown above. Not a statistically validated probability, a guarantee of listing performance, or personalized investment advice.

Limitations: weights are fixed by TopFund, not backtested against outcomes; the "Historical Similar-IPO Performance" factor needs at least 3 comparable past listings and falls back to a broader, less specific cohort when this sector/type doesn't have enough; GMP and subscription data can change daily right up to listing day, so scores shown may already be stale — check the "as of" date above.
