Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of research on the number of risk factors disclosed in official admissions documents prepared by companies entering the NewConnect market in the first half of 2010. It was assumed that the informational content of admissions documents is similar to offering documents presented to investors who buy stocks in a private offer prior to a listing. A positive relationship between the number of risk factors disclosed in the documents and the amount of mispricing at the end of the first day of trading was found. A similar relationship was documented for market risk measured by standard deviation of returns after listing. It was also shown that companies operating in innovative sectors disclose more risk factors, especially those related to the firm itself and its operations. This may be observed mainly for factors related to entrepreneurship, technology and strategy.
