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.
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 Since August 2019 we’ve had a number of trade purchase & withdrawals (TPW) with over 77,000 LPA bought and withdrawn from the platform. These trades can be seen in the second table below.
