Pure Registered Shares

?!?

Is there any country other than France where you can buy shares and have your name entered on the registrars of the company. In France you can buy shares in companies and pay commission. However there are no custodian fees or annual fees as you are in charge of your investments if you purchase in registered form. Can you do this with any other country.

If you mean certificated shares, where you hold the certificate; are on the shareholders register and get all documentation sent to you, then you can do it with virtually all companies. You need to give order to buy in certificated form to your broker.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression though that in Ireland you get charged fees for having an account with the stockbroker every quarter or annually.

For example say I wanted to buy 200 Ryanair Shares @ €40/share.
Is it possible to pay €8000 + say €40 commission and nothing else.
Or will Davy or Goodbody charge you annual fees of €60 every year.

In France you can hold shares in an account. Pay commission on buying and selling and no other fees apply. All documents get sent to you straight from the company. Is this possible in Ireland.

If you get certificate, there is no annual fee.
