Robinhood 首席财务官 Shiv Verma 周一在接受彭博电视采访时表示，该公司收集客户对首次公开募股股份的需求，然后将其传递给发行公司和承销银行。
The firm fields demand from its clients for access to shares in an initial public offering, then sends it to the company going public and the banks handling the stock sale, Robinhood Chief Financial Officer Shiv Verma said Monday in a Bloomberg Television interview.
Verma 说：“这简直是一场混战，所以我们将让需求自己说话，然后让公司来决定。”
“It’s a food fight out there, so we’re going to let our demand speak for itself, and then let the companies decide,” Verma said.
SpaceX 于 6 月上市时，所有在 Robinhood 及竞争对手 Charles Schwab Corp.、Fidelity Investments、SoFi Technologies Inc. 和摩根士丹利旗下 E*Trade 平台提出申请的合格客户都获得了一定数量的股份分配。在上市前夕，各家公司都在争取更大的配售额度，因为散户投资者在接触 IPO 前公司时往往处于劣势。
When SpaceX went public in June, all eligible customers putting in requests for shares with platforms run by Robinhood and competitors Charles Schwab Corp., Fidelity Investments, SoFi Technologies Inc. and Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade were allocated some stock. Leading up to the event, the firms jockeyed for a greater allocation, given that retail clients are often at a disadvantage in accessing pre-IPO companies.
Verma 表示，SpaceX 希望向散户投资者分配约 15% 至 20% 的股份，而 Robinhood 在自身 IPO 时为这类客户预留了 20% 的股份。
Verma said that SpaceX wanted to allocate around 15% to 20% to retail investors, while Robinhood set aside 20% of is own shares for such clients during its own IPO.
Verma 说：“我们要确保发行公司知道，散户投资者已经到来，他们是一支长期存在的力量，鉴于他们占股票市场的 20% 至 25%，发行方应考虑给予散户较大的配售比例。”
“What we are making sure the companies know is, retail is here, they are a force to stay, and given they’re 20% to 25% of the equities market, they should consider a large allocation to retail,” Verma said.
