The biggest
isn’t always the best, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust has built its
business model against the grain of the popular adage that says otherwise.
Established in 1964, privately-owned Continental fully supports emerging and
growth companies with exceptional attention and uniquely tailored business
solutions. The firm is staffed with some of the industry’s most experienced
experts, strategically implementing industry and regulation changes affecting
the stock transfer agency environment.
In the last 10
years, the stock transfer industry has undergone significant consolidation as
smaller players were acquired by larger agents or squeezed out of business. New
technology, changing regulation, and increasing competition also cut the size
of the playing field into what is now a competitive industry led by a handful
of agents.
The largest
transfer agents typically work with larger companies with a roster of hundreds
of thousands of shareholders; certainly a valuable service to these bigger
brands. Companies with 50,000 or fewer shareholders, however, benefit from the
cost, personal attention, expertise and availability of a niche agent such as
Continental. Focused on performing as an “accessible agent dedicated to growth
and emerging companies,” Continental distances itself from the industry
mega-agents.
Continental
offers both the basic and extended offerings one would expect from a transfer
agent that survived industry consolidation with exponential strength. Among its
vast services, Continental provides comprehensive shareholder recordkeeping,
transaction history, shareholder and stock activity reports, annual meeting
management, dividend distribution, as well as industry-mandated services such
as shareholder searches and escheatment. The agent also offers stock plan
administration and services pertaining to corporate actions and escrow
services. Continental has managed hundreds of IPOS and virtually all
special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) brought to market in the last 20
years.
The firm has
also successfully paced itself ahead of more similar-sized agents in the
industry, as demonstrated by its 51-year history of award-winning success.
As the nation’s
fourth-largest agent, Continental offers its clients something mega transfer
agents cannot: the direct provision of personal attention from senior staff,
flexible offerings, and innovative technology – contributing to a consistently
stellar track record of superior customer satisfaction.
