Depository Interest services

In partnership with Capita IRG Trustees Limited, we offer a highly specialised solution for overseas companies looking to raise capital via the London equity markets. The depository interest service ensures that your securities can be settled electronically through CREST, giving you the competitive advantages of being electronically traded on one of the world’s leading equity exchanges, which can have a huge impact on the liquidity of stock, as well as attractiveness to investors.

We were the first company in the UK to provide a depository interest service and have managed depository interests used by companies domiciled in over 25 jurisdictions around the world with more than 90 companies benefiting from the service (as at May 2011). Our specialised team of experts has the skills, knowledge and experience to make the transition to CREST both seamless and efficient with little or no disruption.

Benefits of this service include:

• Electronic settlement on the London equity markets – Main Market, AIM, SFM and PLUS
• Use of underlying ISIN for depository interests
• Use of standard CREST instructions, including proxy voting and dividend distribution
• Together these benefits result in greater liquidity.

Whether you are an adviser working on behalf of your client or an overseas company looking to increase your liquidity, our dedicated team will provide you with a professional service, successfully managing the registration process from start to finish.
