Bulk trade bid
What is a bulk trade bid?
A bulk trade bid is the ordinary way for stock to exit the platform and for stock owners to realise their investment. It is the easiest way for an industry buyer to pick up a significant quantity of the whisky that they require for blending or bottling.
Stock owners are not obligated to accept this bid but by not doing so may risk retaining ownership in a low liquidity stock line with reduced attractiveness to potential future industry bidders. Bulk trade bids currently in progress are listed here. Stock owners are able to sell all or part of their holding to a bulk trade bid via these pages.
You can also choose to automatically accept any Bulk Trade Bid for your whisky. To do this, go to your Account Settings and set Automatically accept bulk trade bids to On.
A bulk trade bid is not the only way for industry buyers to acquire and withdraw maturing spirit. Just like any other WhiskyInvestDirect user they can purchase through a pre-order and trade via the live order board, the difference is an industry buyer will hold a WOWGR enabling them to easily withdraw their whisky. Since August 2019 we’ve had a number of trade purchase & withdrawals (TPW) with over 150,000 LPA bought and withdrawn from the platform. These trades can be seen in the second table below.
