Stock Transfer Agents & Agency Services
Transfer agents often face scrutiny, not only from shareholders but also from their clients – the very purpose for which they are compensated. However, a closer look reveals that these entities possess a robust set of tools to benefit their clients more than many other service providers.
Over the past decade, the transfer agent landscape has undergone significant consolidation, primarily driven by decreasing unit volumes as older shareholders pass away or transition to ‘street-name’ holdings. The M&A and Chapter-10 activities have further intensified this trend, resulting in a fiercely competitive environment.
Currently, the reorganization departments of larger agents benefit from the active M&A market, but the long-term impact on their bottom lines remains uncertain. We advise companies to maintain their current positions, foster positive relationships with their transfer agents, and stay informed through newspapers and industry newsletters for potential future consolidations.
But if you are one of the ‘disaffected’ companies, or feel ‘dislocated’ after the competitive reshufflings, here are two articles that will help you; one on “What to do if you are not satisfied with your T-A” and another on “selecting a transfer agent.”
