Pre-Sold Issue
An issue of a security, especially a bond, that is completely placed with investors before it is actually issued and before all relevant details, notably the price, are announced. Before a new issue, underwriters canvass potential investors, who may or may not book an order to buy a portion the new issue. Pre-sold issues occur almost exclusively with municipal and other government bonds, mainly because most other issues must register all their details with the SEC before they are allowed to place them.
