The Shareview service from Equiniti allows you to manage your shareholding online. It gives you:
- Direct access to data held on your behalf on the share register, including recent share movements and dividend details.
- The ability to change your name or address or amend your dividend payment instructions online.
To visit the Shareview website, go to www.shareview.co.uk. There is no charge to register but you will need the ‘shareholder reference’ printed on your proxy form or dividend stationery.
When you register with the site, you can register your preferred format (post or email) for shareholder communications. If you select email as your mailing preference, you will be notified of various shareholder communications, such as annual results, by email instead of post.
In the event of the death of a shareholder the next of kin or administrator of the estate should contact Equiniti on their Designated Bereavement Services Helpline on 0371 384 2793.
You will be asked to supply a certified copy or the original of the death certificate, together with an appropriate authority to deal with the estate, such as a Grant of Probate. Further information is available at www.shareview.co.uk
Costain is legally obliged to make its share register available to the general public. Consequently, some shareholders may receive unsolicited mail, including correspondence from unauthorised investment firms. Shareholders who wish to limit the amount of unsolicited mail they receive can contact The Mailing Preference Service at www.mpsonline.org.uk or on 0207 291 3310 or at: The Mailing Preference Service Freepost 29 LON20771, London W1E 0ZT.
The Orr Macintosh Foundation (ShareGift) operates a charity share donation scheme for shareholders with small numbers of shares whose value makes it uneconomic to sell them. Details of the scheme are available on the ShareGift website at www.sharegift.org
Donating shares to charity in this way gives rise neither to a gain nor a loss for capital gains tax purposes. This service is free of charge and Equiniti can provide stock transfer forms on request.
Many companies have become aware that their shareholders are receiving an increased number of unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. Fraudsters use persuasive and high-pressure tactics to lure investors into scams, and sometimes imply a connection to the company concerned.
Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice and offers to buy or sell shares. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:
- Make sure you get the correct name of the person and the organisation
- Check that they are properly authorised by the FCA before getting involved by checking the register on the FCA website and, where appropriate, contacting the firm using the details on the register
- Report the matter to the FCA by calling the FCA Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768 or using the share fraud reporting form on the FCA's website or emailing [email protected]
- If the calls persist, hang up.
If you deal with a firm (or individual) that’s not regulated, you may not be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Details of any share dealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
More detailed information on this or similar activities can be found on the FCA website and the Money Advice Service website.
