C&R has been in the shares registry business for 30 years. This is our core business and we are committed to service excellence, customer care and satisfaction.  

We provide the best share registry services in Kenya. Shares Registry is a distinct component within the capital markets industry which comprises multi-faceted stakeholders including brokers, investment banks, nominated advisors, the Central Depository, the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the Capital Markets Authority, the regulator.

Traditionally, Share Registry mainly covered the work of share register maintenance. This includes the core activities of maintaining and updating shareholder details, processing and registering transfers and immobilizations. On top of this share registrars are involved in reconciling share register closures and providing eligible shareholder details for purposes of corporate actions.  Optional services also included AGM registration management and dividend processing, disbursements and reconciliation.

However, Share Registry has increasingly become a complex industry with companies now calling on their registrars for information and consultative advice for wider investor relations activities, including emerging trends and regulatory compliance.  Share Registrars are now required to monitor industry regulations and advise on the impact for share registry maintenance.  Share Registrars are also required to provide data analysis to ensure compliance with new or amended regulations in the Capital Markets industry. This has in turn led to the industry being one that is systems reliant.  As the Share Registrar, we provide the first point of contact for resolution of enquiries from the Regulator and/or shareholders, thus the necessity being able to store and retrieve shareholder transactional information quickly and efficiently.   Share Registrars are therefore usually seen as the initial face of investor relations for their clients and it is important that the face shows values of integrity, efficiency, accuracy and responsiveness.

Understanding what a Shares Registrar should do for your business is the first step in making the right decision. At C&R, we aim to bring value to our clients using our experience from over 30 years’ in the share registry business. We are proud of our service excellence in our operations, experienced staff, robust and tested technology platforms. At the heart of all our initiatives is achieving success for ourselves and our clients through implementation based on our core values of integrity, accuracy, innovation and service excellence.
