CREST is an electronic system for settling the sale and purchase of shares. Membership is voluntary and is typically used by institutions, and by individual investors who have a large share portfolio or who buy and sell shares frequently. CREST enables shareholders to hold and transfer their shareholdings in electronic form rather than using paper. For further information on CREST please write to CRESTCo Limited, Trinity Tower, 9 Thomas More Street, London E1 9YN.
