The number of shares available for purchase on the Bidvest Bank Investments platform may, from time to time, be subject to a maximum amount or value, as prescribed either by the Issuer or by the BBI platform.


On the platform, you may experience limits on:

  1. The total value of Trades which you may execute;
  2. The total value of Trades which you may execute in a given Security;


Where applicable, notice of relevant trading limits will be provided on the Website.


Please note: Limits on the maximum amount that you can invest in a particular security are put in place to protect you from having too much exposure in shares that may be more difficult to sell (illiquid) in comparison to those that are easily traded (liquid).  For a definition of liquidity, please visit our Glossary.

Should you experience a limit on a particular security and want to invest further in that security, please contact our Trading Desk on + 27 (0) 10 020 7755  between 09:05am - 16:40pm Monday to Friday (business days) for assistance.
