Overview of the Direct Registration System

Direct Registration is an industry program that allows share ownership without paper stock certificates. Your shares are held in book-entry form in an account in your name.
Direct Registration eliminates the need for you to safeguard and store certificates. It avoids the significant cost of a surety bond for the replacement of, and the effort involved in, replacing a physical certificate(s) that might be lost, stolen or destroyed. And it permits/enables electronic security transfers between your broker or dealer and Computershare as transfer agent.
In this video, we discuss all of the above benefits and explain how you too can move to a more efficient way of holding shares through Direct Registration.
