Holder Identification Numbers (HINs) identify CHESS Sponsored holdings (also referred to as Broker Sponsored holdings). Some HINs start with the letter ‘X’ while others have no alphabetic prefix e.g. X00054321, 00054321. Securityholder Reference Numbers (SRNs) identify Issuer Sponsored holdings and begin with the letter ‘I’ e.g. I00054321. Your HIN or SRN appears on your original holding statement as well as subsequent statements and payment (dividend or distribution) advices. Important note – your SRNs and/or HINs identify you as the owner of your securities and should be stored securely.
