Loans available at a discount (AC)

Massive £0.16 at 20% discount (clearly, may have been substantially more when you saw it)

rscal how did you find that specific discount?

Indeed. With spare money in my account, I've started asking for bigger chunks of some of the remaining discounts in order to keep the money busy, but I'm reaching my hard limits of maximum I'd conceivably consider holding in a single loan, rather than the softer limit of maximum I'll take per loan when there's plenty of other similar ones around.

FWIW, another ad-hoc analysis on recently drawn loans suggests that over 95% of the loan units in issue of several recent loans (#1007,#1009,#1011,#1012) are held in the access accounts. It seems clear to me that underwriters either were not offered these at all (in their capacity as underwriters - they can of course fill their boots at par even now if they're so inclined), or chose not to invest any money in them. My bet's on the former...

Conversely, #1006 and #1010 have only about 6% held in the access accounts and nothing at all for sale suggesting that either the PSA/GBBA swiped the lot, or manual investors (possibly including underwriters) grabbed them in order to hold medium to long-term.
