How do I find out which share registry I need to log into?
Each share uses its own share registry to manage the registry of shareholders for that company. The registry has the following responsibilities:
Recording changes in share ownership
Issuing shareholding statements
Manages dividend payments, bonuses, and rights issues.
You can find the responsible registry for a particular holding by clicking on it from your Dashboard under the Holding details of the Asset on your portfolio
If the share registry is not listed there, you can also head to www.asx.com.au and search for the company by code or name using the search bar. The Share registry information can then be found at the bottom-right of the page.
Example: https://www.asx.com.au/markets/etp/IVV
Here are some tips for setting up a login for the two main share registries in Australia:
Computershare
Log into Computershare or register a new account with your Pearler account details and HIN. E.g. If you have invested in VAS, you would enter this in the "Select a company you own shares in" section.
MUFG (Formerly Link Market Services)
Log into MUFG Investor Centre or register your portfolio to create your login.
If you are registering, you will be prompted to enter your personal details.
Then once you have logged in, add holdings with your Pearler HIN (can be found in Settings > Investment Settings)
Example:
After you have entered your HIN, you can add your holdings.
Example: if you have a Betashares ETF, such as A200, NDQ, DHHF, etc., you can type and select the Betashares option.
