Simply speaking "bid" is what you "bid" for that means when you want to buy and the price you get offered for that purchase; Offer means, when you want to offer i.e. offer to sell? the price someone is willing to pay your offer. if it is the same person, he will pay you less but want more from you. that is why, when you want to exchange currency from the same bank, the "offer" is lower than the "bid" in relation to you! that means you can sell 1 USD for, say 1.20 SGD but if you want to buy USD by giving SGD then you have to give 1,25 SGD yielding a profit of SGD 0.05 to the bank.

What is offer to bid pricing in unit trust?
In the very simplest of terms, the price at which units in a unit trust are bought (the offer price) is greater than the selling price (the bid price) and the difference is a combination of various charges. Hence, the value of the unit trust fund has to increase to cover this difference before the units can be sold without a loss. These prices (on an offer to bid basis) are the normal trading prices and use the maximum buying price. If there are a lot of sellers then the bid price may be reduced by the managers to a lower price to discourage sales (on a bid to offer basis). The lowest bid price is called the cancellation price and is dependent upon the value of the assets of the unit trust. Also, unit trusts do not all have the same difference between buying and selling prices.
