For example, if a SPAC had an IPO at $10 per share, but you bought 100 SPAC shares on the open market at $12 per share, the shares you purchased are associated with a trust account balance of about $10 per share, so your share of the trust account would be worth about $1,000 (not the $1,200 you paid for your shares).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The opposite is also true, meaning that buying SPACs below the initial offering price basically facilitates risk-free yield.

If Naked’s pivot to clean technologies and ESG turns out to be a dud, you’ll probably lose big.
