Black Haven Investments provides liquidity around block trades in Australia-listed equity: off-market or negotiated-price execution, risk taken on the line itself, and the large-holding disclosure that follows a substantial transfer managed end to end. The market is overseen by Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

03 · FAQ

Australia · Block Trades

What holders ask about Australia.

01How do you execute an Australia block trade?

We work the line off the order book, off-market or at a negotiated price, and the block is then printed to Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its block-trade rules. Black Haven Investments can take all or part of the risk on the line, so the seller achieves a clean exit at an agreed price.

02How large a block can you handle in Australia?

It depends on the stock’s free float, daily traded volume and volatility. We assess each line on its merits and indicate a workable size and price range after reviewing the position.

03Does the block trade have to be disclosed?

Often, yes. A substantial transfer by a significant shareholder is generally disclosable under the relevant regime overseen by ASIC. We manage the sequencing and wording of any required notification around the trade.

04Can you finance the buyer of the block?

Yes. A block can be paired with a stock loan to the acquirer, so the newly acquired Australia-listed line serves immediately as collateral for the financing that funds it.
