  • Issuers
    You can sponsor custody for your shareholders knowing that their custody, settlement and share dealing needs will be taken care of. We'll manage the entire dematerialisation process for them through our custodial system linked to Strate and maintain and balance the sub registers for you. You can do the same for your own holdings, whether they are equities, bonds or money market instruments.
  • Asset Managers
    Use Computershare Nominees for your holdings and leave the custody, settlement, corporate actions and pledges in our hands.
  • Employee Share Schemes
    The Trust for your employee share scheme can hold the share allocation in custody with us and, when the time for vesting comes, your employees can open accounts directly with us. We'll provide them with custody and, when they need to sell, they can use our online or telephone share dealing services.

Stockbrokers

Hold your shares in your own nominee account, secure in the knowledge that your custody and settlements, your corporate action entitlements and pledges are safe in our hands. If you are a JSE member who has selected Computershare as your CSD Participant and Computershare Outsourcing as your Custody Services Provider, we are confident that we are able to offer a superior, competitive and cost-effective custody and settlement function.
