What is the difference between a registered and non-registered (beneficial) security ownership?

Registered owners of securities hold their securities directly and most often physically possess certificate(s) evidencing their position. Non-registered owners hold their securities through a brokerage firm or other financial intermediary. Beneficial owner is an alternative term for non-registered holders. Most investors choose to own securities in non-registered form, primarily for reasons of convenience.

How do I make changes to my investment account (i.e. change of address, report and replace lost share certificates, transfer of shares)?

Non-registered owners should contact their brokerage firm or investment representatives to request any changes to their accounts. Registered owners should contact the Canadian Stock Transfer Company. ATCO cannot make address or name changes, confirm holdings or transactions, or perform other administrative tasks affecting the accounts of either registered or non-registered owners of ATCO securities.
