The key benefits of a Corporate Sponsored Nominee

 

Access competitive dealing rates and faster settlement

 

Increase your privacy as your shareholder details are taken off the public share register

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 

Forget about looking after paper share certificates

 

Benefit from the reassurance of regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

 

Simplify your personal records with regular share statements

How does it work?

The Corporate Sponsored Nominee works by removing investors names from the main register and holding them together with other investors in the nominee company. A separate register of underlying individual investors is maintained behind the scenes by the nominee.

You will still be able to receive dividends when the company pays one (dividends will be paid to you via the Nominee at the same time as other shareholders).

Also the company will generally make available financial information and give you the opportunity to instruct the nominee how you wish to vote, alternatively you may request to attend and vote at any Annual General Meeting or other General Meetings the Company may have from time to time.
