Nominee service

Ashton Graham Nominees is a company wholly owned by the partners in the firm with unlimited liability. Its only purpose is to hold stock belonging to clients to facilitate dealing and settlement through Crest.

Ashton Graham nominees is a sponsored member of Crest.

The implication of using a nominee service is that all dividends, and all company papers are sent to the nominee company and not to the individual client.

Dividends are credited to the individual client account as and when received and are paid to the client in accordance with their instructions.

Company reports will not be distributed to clients unless requested.

The nominee company will be advised of all corporate actions such as rights issues, bonus issues etc but in the case of a discretionary clients we will take the appropriate action; in every other case we will advise the client of the action and seek instructions.

The nominee service is available without charge for advisory and discretionary clients.

The nominee service is also available to custody only only clients who wish to have their stock held electronically and avoid the administrative inconvenience of holding certificated stock.

Custody Only Clients will enter into the Execution Only Agreement with the firm which means that we will be able to offer dealing services but not any investment advice.
