The fastest way to get information about your shareholding is to use the shareholder portal ‘Investor Centre’. If you haven’t used the portal before, you’ll need to register and activate your account.

Your investor code, also known as a shareholder reference number, can be found on your share certificate or dividend confirmation. If you don’t have a record of your investor code, you should contact MUFG (see question 1 above).

If you lose your share certificate(s) or it has been stolen, you should inform the Registrars immediately (see question 1 above for contact details).

The Registrars will then send you a letter of indemnity. Depending on the value of the missing share certificate, you may be able to complete an indemnity over the telephone. If the value exceeds the threshold applicable at that time, you will be able to request that the registrar sends you a letter of indemnity to sign and return to enable the issue of a replacement certificate.

There will be a charge for this service.

If you would like to receive your shareholder communications by e-mail, inform the registrar of the preferred email address by using the shareholder portal ‘Investor Centre’ by sending the Registrar a signed request by post to MUFG Corporate Markets (see question 1 above for contact details).

If sending notification in writing, please remember to include your full name, the name of the company you hold your shares in (i.e. Brooks Macdonald Group plc) and if you know it, your investor code.

When you change address, it is important to inform the Registrar as soon as possible to ensure that the register is updated and you receive all shareholder communications and dividends. You can do this online here (once you have registered) or by sending a letter to MUFG Corporate Markets (see question 1 above). The letter should include your name, as shown on your share certificate(s), your new and old address, the name of the company you hold your shares in (i.e Brooks Macdonald Group plc), and your shareholder reference number (if you know it).

All such correspondence must be signed. For security reasons, the registrar cannot accept address changes over the telephone. If sending notification in writing, please make sure that your notification is signed by all joint shareholders where applicable.

When you change your name, it is important to inform the Registrar as soon as possible. You’ll need to send a signed letter to MUFG Corporate Markets (see question 1 above), stating your old and new names, address, the name of the company you hold your shares in (i.e Brooks Macdonald Group plc), and if you know it, your investor code. You’ll also need to send the original legal document which confirms the change, such as a marriage certificate, deed poll or a decree absolute.

Contact the Registrars (see question 1 above) to obtain the stock transfer form. Completed forms should be returned to MUFG Corporate Markets together with your share certificate. There is no charge for this service.

You should contact MUFG Corporate Markets as soon as possible (see question 1 above for contact details), and the relevant procedure will be explained. Alternatively, you can visit the Registrar’s bereavement services website here.

We are not able to provide tax advice to shareholders. Please contact your financial adviser.

If you want to buy more shares, or sell your existing shares, you need to contact a stockbroker or share-dealing service. Share-dealing services may be telephone, postal or internet-based and commission rates can vary considerably. A telephone share dealing service is also available via the Registrar (see .

Before selling shares, you should ensure that you have the related share certificate(s). If you are selling shares which are registered in a nominee name, rather than your own name, you need to contact the nominee to make arrangements to sell the shares.

If the shares are registered in your name (and not in a nominee name used by an investment manager or stockbroker), you will receive a notification of the availability of the Annual Report and Accounts by email or post when it is published on our website here.

If you have not elected to receive electronic communications, a hard copy of the Annual Report and Accounts will be sent to you in the post. 

Should you wish to change your election at any time, or if you wish to request a hard copy of the Annual Report and Accounts, you can do so by contacting our Registrars (see question 1 above for contact details).

Brooks Macdonald Group plc pays dividends twice a year. The interim dividend is typically paid in April, with the final dividend typically paid in November. See our website for information on most recent and historic dividend payment dates.

Yes, you can ask to have your dividends paid directly into a UK bank or building society account, which avoids the risk of cheques being lost in the post or mislaid. The dividend will be credited to your account on the payment date, and you will not have to wait for a cheque to clear on your account. A tax voucher will be sent to your registered address or sent electronically if we have your email address, so you know when and how much has been paid into your account. 

If you would like your dividends to be paid in this way, you can do this online here.

Alternatively, please contact MUFG Corporate Markets (see question 1 above for contact details).

Please take care when completing the sort code and account number as we cannot accept liability if you give incorrect information and your dividend is paid into the wrong account.

Yes. Brooks Macdonald Group plc operates a dividend reinvestment plan, which allows shareholders to elect for their dividends to be used to purchase additional shares. You can register for the DRIP here.

For further information contact MUFG Corporate Markets (see question 1 above for contact details).
