Unexpected movement of shares from ASX to Canada.

Firstly, thank you for your service. Just a couple of days ago my shares in A1G (African Gold on ASX), have been moved to Canada after the takeover by Montage Gold (MAU:CA)). I do not have any broker/account in Canada. It looks that I lost access to them. What should I do to access the shares again? I would like to sell them now, but I have no idea how to do it :-( Can you give me some hints?

Answer

Hi Robert,

Two ways:

Go to the share registry for Montage Gold – this is Endeavour Trust Corporation (we think), and search your holding. Some share registries allow selling through them, which would be the cleanest/simplest approach. In any case, you’ll need to get your Certificate or DRS statement.

Alternatively, you’d need to open an international trading account with a broker, then move the shares to that broker, supplying your Certificate or DRS statement. Interactive brokers is one, Commsec / CMC also do this. This is a bit of a process unfortunately.

Weekend Q&A: ASX starts May on the front foot

The ASX200 ended its 8-day losing streak on Friday with a solid +0.7% advance, although it promised more early on before the “Big Four Banks” reversed lower. It felt worse, but come the closing bell on Friday, the index was only down 0.6% for the week, although compared to the strong gains in the US, it was a clear disappointment. It was the big end of town that reined in the market last week, with the banks and heavyweight miners retreating. Next Wednesday, we see the RBA step up on interest rates, with credit markets pricing in a ~74% probability of a 0.25% hike, while on the following Tuesday, we will receive the Federal Budget- there’s no rest for the wicked in May!

The Match Out: ASX bounces back as miners lead and supermarkets recover

The ASX finally found some buyers today, snapping its eight-day losing streak as risk appetite improved following record highs on Wall Street and a modest pullback in oil from Thursday’s spike. Materials did the heavy lifting, helped by gains in iron ore, while gold names also bounced after recent weakness.
