What is a “street-name” or beneficial shareholder? Securities held in a broker account and registered in the name of the broker or other institutions are referred to as being held “in street name.” If you keep your shares with your broker in a broker account, you are a street-name or beneficial shareholder and are not directly registered on the company’s shareholder file maintained by the transfer agent. If you are a street-name or beneficial shareholder, dividend cheques, dividend shares etc. will not be delivered to you directly. They will be delivered to the broker that holds your shares who will then credit your account. Should you wish to become a registered holder, request your broker to have your shares issued in DRS form, registered in your name. Please note that a transfer agent can assist you with questions about your security account only if you are a registered holder.
