I own shares in Glaxo SmithKline, but I haven been receiving copies of its Report and Accounts. Can you help me?
If you hold your shares in a nominee account run by your broker, you won’t be sent company accounts, which is one of the disadvantages of nominee accounts. This being said, it may well be that your broker may be able to obtain a copy on your behalf, so it is worth asking. Also, increasingly, R&As are available online or through various newspapers – the company’s website would be a good place to start. The other possible reason is that the registrar of Glaxo has not got your address correctly listed. Did you move house recently, and if so did you remember to tell the company?
