Shareholders’ services

We offer a wide range of shareholder services, some details of which are set out below. If you need any further information about any of these services, please:

  • Contact our registrar, Computershare on 0845 113 0045 if calling from the UK. International numbers for Computershare can be found on the last page of this report

Sign up for e-communications

You can choose to receive your shareholder communications electronically – registering is easy, secure and free. Just go to www.standardlife.com/shareholders/ecommunications and follow the links to find out how. Signing up means:

  • You'll receive an email when documents like the Annual Report and Accounts, Summary Financial Report and AGM guide are available on our website. You can then read these online in an easy to use, searchable format instead of receiving paper copies in the post
  • Voting instructions for the Annual General Meeting will be sent to you electronically
  • You can download your dividend tax vouchers when you need them
  • You can view your Standard Life Share Account statement online

Any information you receive electronically will be the same as the paper version - but you'll help us save your money, and conserve natural resources.

Preventing unsolicited mail

By law, Standard Life has to make its share register publicly available. Because of this, some registered shareholders may receive unsolicited mail. You could also be targeted by fraudulent ‘investment specialists’ using high-pressure cold-calling sales techniques – these are sometimes called ‘boiler room scams’. You can find more information about this at the Financial Services Authority website www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk

If you are a certificated shareholder, your name and address will appear on a public register. Using a nominee company to hold your shares can help protect your privacy. You can transfer your shares into the Company-sponsored nominee – the Standard Life Share Account – by contacting Computershare, or you could get in touch with your broker to find out about their nominee services.

If you want to limit the amount of unsolicited mail you receive generally, please contact:
The Mailing Preference Service (MPS), DMA House, 70 Margaret Street, London W1W 8SS – or register online at www.mpsonline.org.uk
