Selling a large parcel of issuer-sponsored shares can involve more planning than a standard share sale, particularly where the holding is high in value, involves a large volume of shares, or forms part of an estate, trust, SMSF, or employee shares.
At Unbroker, we assist shareholders with one-off issuer-sponsored share sales across a wide range of parcel sizes. This includes everyday share sales as well as larger and more complex holdings where careful handling, documentation support, and clear communication are especially important.
What Is Considered a Large Parcel of Shares?
A large parcel can mean different things depending on the shareholder and the ASX-listed company involved.
In practice, it usually refers to holdings where:
- the sale value is significant to the shareholder
- the volume of shares involved requires additional coordination and execution oversight
- accuracy and timing are important
- additional verification or supporting documentation may be required
Larger parcel transactions commonly arise in situations such as:
- Long-term investments – Shareholders may accumulate significant positions through DRPs, corporate actions, or concentrated investments.
- Deceased estate share sales – Executors may need to sell estate shareholdings as part of finalising and distributing estate assets.
- Inherited portfolios from deceased estates – Beneficiaries may choose to sell part or all of an inherited shareholding after it has been transferred into their name.
- SMSF or trust restructures – Trustees may need to sell sizeable issuer-sponsored holdings as part of restructuring, compliance, or investment changes.
- Employee shares – Employee share schemes can involve larger parcel values and additional administrative requirements.
While the overall sale process remains consistent across all transactions, larger parcel sales can sometimes involve additional administrative, verification, or settlement requirements depending on the shareholder’s circumstances and the nature of the holding.
How Unbroker Assists with Large Share Sales
Unbroker specialises in one-off issuer-sponsored (SRN) share sales across a range of holding sizes.
Our team can assist with coordinating documentation, verification requirements, execution updates and settlement information. This helps shareholders understand what is required at each stage and keeps the transaction progressing from submission through to completion.
Clear Communication Throughout the Process
Shareholders are kept informed throughout the transaction process, including application receipt, any documentation requirements, approval updates, execution timeframes, and settlement details.
This is particularly important for larger holdings, where shareholders want confidence that the transaction is being managed carefully and that they will be updated if any additional requirements arise.
Documentation and Verification Support
Our team reviews supplied information and supporting documentation to ensure all requirements have been satisfied before the transaction proceeds.
Where additional verification or supporting documents are required, shareholders are contacted directly with guidance on the next steps.
Transaction Coordination
Once all requirements have been completed, the transaction can proceed through execution, settlement, and payment processing.
If additional execution coordination is required—such as selling low-liquidity stocks over multiple trading days—our team will provide updates after each trading day.
Our focus is on ensuring all transactions are handled accurately, efficiently, and with clear communication throughout the process.
