• WRAP announces its 100th transaction;
  • In total, over £430m has been raised from retail investors across equities and debt since the platform’s launch;
  • WRAP thus cements its leading position as the UK’s premier, independently-owned retail distribution platform. 

Winterflood Securities (“Winterflood”), the market-leading liquidity provider and retail-focused capital markets distributor, announced this week that its Winterflood Retail Access Platform (“WRAP”) has facilitated its 100th transaction.  

WRAP has existed for just over two years and has now raised over £430m of retail investment for a range of different issuers, from Aquis and AIM small-caps through to FTSE250 companies, the International Finance Corporation and the UK’s Debt Management Office. It comes on the heels of a hugely successful H1 2025, in which over 50 transactions were executed.

In H2 2025, there have been 33 offerings to retail investors through the WRAP platform, a significant number of which were oversubscribed, a testament to both resilient retail investor demand and the effectiveness of WRAP itself.

Joe Winkley, Director & Head of Corporate Services at Winterflood, said: “Reaching one hundred WRAP transactions marks an important milestone for WRAP.  We have worked with 21 different banks and brokers over the last two years and have executed a variety of different retail offers, from equity issuance to accelerated bookbuilds and IPOs. Retail demand has been resilient: UK residents understandably want access to a diverse portfolio of equities and debt to grow their long-term wealth.” 

“This is where WRAP as a retail platform has been invaluable to all stakeholders. Expanding retail share ownership is beneficial to companies, providing a valuable source of both capital and liquidity, in line with Government initiatives to boost retail investment, and provides a direct benefit to the UK economy.” 

“WRAP has been successful because of its unparalleled connectivity, with access to over 150 platforms and wealth managers. One hundred transactions is just the start: as its ongoing success shows, we believe WRAP is set for continued growth in the coming months and years.”
