Lloyds Share Trading Account10 Oct 2019 13:07
I contacted my share dealing online broker and it seems straight forward to move the shares across if they change exchanges. Lloyds don't deal on the HKEX but can easly move them over if I set up a new account with someone that does.
You: I have shares in my Lloyds Share Dealing account for CNEL, they are looking to transfer to the HKEX
You: How does that effect my trading through Lloyds
Thomas: Okay, we do not offer trading on that market so it would be a case of you having to locate a broker that facilitates trading on the Kong Kong market and transfer the stock over to them to facilitate the trade.
Thomas: Transferring shares out is free of charge.
You: Ok what do I need to do on my side? do I open an account somewhere else first and then move them over
Thomas: Yes you would have to open an account with a broker that offers trading on the HKEX and then initiate a trade with them, they would then contact us and request the stock.
You: OK, I will start looking, do I need to do anything until I know they have been moved of to the HKEX, or can I wait until its happened
Thomas: It's up to yourself, if the stock moves over to the HKEX we can still hold it for you but we just cannot trade it.
You: Thats Ok, I just didn't want them sold without my knowledge
Thomas: No problem, We wouldn't place any trades without your instructions to do so.
