Each week I like to look at the upcoming IPOs which are happening on the ASX. It gives me a chance to see if there are any future stars being listed and perhaps get in early on that success story.
Every single share that currently trades on the ASX was a newly-listed share at one point, they should not be avoided just because they are new.
A new float is usually when a private company is looking to sell a small or large portion of the business to new investors. The funds are typically needed for the growth of the business, such as buying property, funding product development or making an acquisition.
If any of the below shares sound interesting, you should read the prospectus to see if you want to invest.
According to ASX Ltd (ASX: ASX) these are some of the upcoming listings:
HeraMED Limited (ASX: HMD)

Foolish takeaway
All of these businesses sound interesting but I'm not considering investing in any of them for my own portfolio.
They are outside my circle of competence, so I'm leaving them to be invested in by others. However, of the four, Revasum could be the one to watch.
