Share Registrar is a distinct component within the securities market which comprises multi-faceted stakeholders including regulators, brokers, investment banks, listed companies and their shareholders. Traditionally, it mainly covers the work of share register maintenance, proxy administration, dividend processing, etc. However, it has taken more roles as listed companies are now calling for service on investor relations and regulatory compliance. It must also keep in pace with emerging technologies in recent and coming years.
