What is a share certificate?

  • A Share certificate is a legal document that certifies ownership of a specific number of shares in a corporation.
  • You legally own the shares. You receive all documents and your dividends are paid directly to you.

Some risks of holding share certificates

  • You are responsible for the safekeeping of your own share certificates
  • Share certificates can be lost or damaged. They are costly to replace if lost or stolen.
  • They expose you to fraud if they fall into the wrong hands
  • You will not be able to place your order to sell until we have physical receipt of your certificates
