Did You Know?

Smaller orders and unusual one-off transactions are often the result of a surprise demand that needs to be facilitated by a buyer, or a smaller excess inventory from a seller.

The use of a platform is ideal in this scenario allowing both sides to broadcast their ‘Odd Lot’ requirement to multiple counterparties quickly and easily, and to source and mop up the requirement. It means the system can take the strain as opposed to chasing around for ultimately a low volume order.
