[Anthropic Plans U.S. IPO, Retail Investors Rush to High-Risk Channels to Secure Shares] According to Bloomberg, U.S. retail investors are actively seeking ways to profit from the IPOs of AI unicorns like Anthropic and OpenAI by leveraging multiple brokerage platforms, making large-scale purchases, and participating in Pre-IPO funds. One 66-year-old retired investor from California has opened accounts with eight brokerage firms and plans to allocate approximately 30% of his net assets to purchase Anthropic's new shares, intending to sell them on the first day of trading. The report highlights that some retail investors are indirectly holding related equity through off-market funds and structured products, facing risks such as lock-up periods, opaque valuations, and limited liquidity. If the IPO performance falls short of expectations, they could suffer significant losses.
