  • For transfers to two or more different Fund Managers, one set of ID/AML documentation must be provided for each application. This will also apply where separate applications for funds with the same Fund Manager, are required (i.e. if each fund has its own fund-specific application form).

Transfer out securities to issuer-sponsored holdings

  • When transferring assets out to Issuer-Sponsored Holdings, each asset will be transferred to be held with its issuing share registry, under the registration name and address listed on the instruction provided for the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, a Holding Statement for each asset, will be sent to the registered address, detailing the asset, the number of units and the new SRN for the client’s holding with the share registry
  • If the receiving client already has an SRN for a particular asset with the share registry, the relevant asset can be transferred to this same SRN. To do this, the SRN will need to be provided on the signed instruction, in addition to the registered name and address.
