In an effort to allow greater access to the wholesale over-the-counter bond market FIIG has made 35 bonds available in $10,000 parcels. A total of 21 bonds are available to both retail and wholesale investors, while there’s an additional 14 bonds available to wholesale investors only (see Table 1). New investors will need to invest a minimum $50,000 which could be made up of five $10,000 bonds, or split in other configurations, for example one $30,000 bond and one $20,000 bond as long as the minimum $10,000 per investment is satisfied.
The availability of these bonds in smaller parcels also provides liquidity to existing holders of the bonds. For example, if you own $50,000 of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal 2016 fixed rate bond and needed some liquidity, you could now sell down the bond in $10,000 parcels instead of selling the complete holding.
