Is it possible for me to purchase shares through any Irish Stockbroker and for me to receive my shares in Certificate format, rather than online format?
I used to maintain an account with Campbell O'Connor Stockbrokers. When I purchased shares I received a share certificate rather than having them held online.
I paid a fee for purchasing these shares. There was no ongoing account charges. I could hold these shares for as long as I liked with no charges.
When Campbell O'Connor closed their business I opened an account with Davy.
I decided to invest a largish sum of money in a UK company paying a good dividend. The plan was to collect a decent dividend rather than leave funds in a bank and not earning much interest.
The problem I have now is that Davy are charging me a fee four times a year to maintain an account with them. If I was holding a share certificate I would not have to pay these charges as I would not need to have an account with Davy. I would need at some stage to open an account if I were to sell them. However I have purchased these shares for the long term.
