who's name is on a Company Share Register

[Guest Jinx the Cat]

Hi,

I' hold a large holding of a UK share on AIM.  There is a very strong possibility that the company will sell off a non core section of their company and re distribute the profit to share holders. 

My problem is that my name needs to be on share company's investors list and i have been told that IG do not put individual investor's names on each company share holder list - which means i will not benefit from this payout. 

 

I have contacted IG today, via chat and the lady was going to ask the dealing desk and they email me back - but nothing has arrived yet!  And i really want this sorted by tomoz morning so to give me time to think of something.

Does anyone have any experience of this with IG or any advice.

 

Much appreciated in advance.

If you haven't received a response from IG, follow up with them immediately. Sometimes a prompt follow-up can expedite the process. Specifically ask if they can register your shares in your name or if they can provide a workaround to ensure you're on the shareholder list. If IG cannot accommodate your request, consider transferring your shares to another broker who can register them in your name. Ensure the new broker can complete the transfer and registration before the deadline.
