Open a Share Portal Account and add a wide range of shareholdings and investments you have including those with other registrars to monitor their value all in one place.
The abrdn Share Account works by removing investors names from the main register and holding them together with other investors in a nominee provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited (EFSL).
Your shares will be held on your behalf by EFSL on a separate register maintained by EFSL, and you will still enjoy the benefits of owning shares, retain the right to receive dividend payments and abrdn will make available financial information and arrange for you to attend and vote on matters put to general meetings of abrdn plc.
