From our IPO to helping companies go public

May 27, 2024 marked our 30th anniversary of listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Although Computershare was founded in Melbourne, Australia 16 years earlier in 1978, this important event in 1994 paved the way for our significant growth around the world over the past 30 years.

That growth included entering the North American market in 2000 through the acquisition of the transfer agency businesses of Harris Bank in Chicago and trust company business of Bank of Montreal. In 2003, we acquired the global proxy solicitation firm Georgeson.

We have continued to grow, often through acquisition, with the goal of delivering the services and expertise your company needs today, and may need in the future, all under one roof.

Today, we operate across five continents, allowing us to gain unique insights from around the world that strengthen our expertise for all clients whether domestic, cross-border or global.

To help drive your business success, we want to provide you with the best practices, innovative developments and market leading solutions that can enhance your relationships with investors, shareholders, and other stakeholders. To this end, stay tuned for new service and technology announcements, coming soon.

From our IPO to helping countless other companies go public, we bring experience, innovation and a client-first approach to everything we do. Thank you for choosing Computershare – we value our continued partnership.
