  • What Individual Investors Should Know About Holding Securities
    What Individual Investors Should Know About Holding Securities Direct Registration System (DRS) DRS lets you avoid the risk of holding a physical certificate that might be lost, stolen or destroyed. Instead, the issuer or its transfer agent registers the securities directly in your name on the books of the company. Additionally, DRS is able to record fractional shares — unlike physical certificates that are only available in whole shares — which is important in the case of stock dividends, splits or merger/acquisition activities that may result in fractional shares being issued to individuals.While not all issuers’ securities are currently available in DRS, Mellon Investor Services (Mellon) acts as the transfer agent for a significant number of leading U.S. companies that are DRS eligible. Shares held in DRS are considered registered shares on the books of the issuer. In its role as the issuer’s transfer agent, Mellon provides a range of shareowner services to investors holding securities through DRS. Mellon sends an account statement when shares are first deposited in DRS, and annually thereafter. Mellon also sends confirmations for all transactions occurring in the account. Dividend checks, annual reports, proxy materials and other shareowner documents and communications are delivered directly to the investor in a timely manner. Through Mellon’s secure Web site at www.melloninvestor.com, investors also can view account information in real time, buy or sell shares or reinvest dividends pursuant to the issuer’s investment plan, if available. You also can opt for electronic delivery of shareowner communications through Mellon’s online program, MLinkSM. Physical Certificate When you hold a physical, paper certificate, your name is registered on the books of the issuing company — just like DRS.

  • Is Our Current International Economic Environment Unusually Crisis Prone?
    Is Our Current International Economic Environment Unusually Crisis Prone? Michael Bordo and Barry Eichengreen1 August 1999 1. Introduction From popular accounts one would gain the impression that our current international economic environment is unusually crisis prone. The European of 1992-3, the Mexican crisis of 1994-5, the Asian crisis of 1997-8, and the other currency and banking crises that peppered the 1980s and 1990s dominate journalistic accounts of recent decades. This “crisis problem” is seen as perhaps the single most distinctive financial characteristic of our age. Is it? Even a cursory review of financial history reveals that the problem is not new. One classic reference, O.M.W. Sprague’s History of Crises Under the National Banking System (1910), while concerned with just one country, the United States, contains chapters on the crisis of 1873, the panic of 1884, the stringency of 1890, the crisis of 1893, and the crisis of 1907. One can ask (as does Schwartz 1986) whether it is appropriate to think of these episodes as crises — that is, whether they significantly disrupted the operation of the financial system and impaired the health of the nonfinancial economy — but precisely the same question can be asked of certain recent crises.2 In what follows we revisit this history with an eye toward establishing what is new and 1 Rutgers University and University of California at Berkeley, respectively. This paper is prepared for the Reserve Bank of Australia Conference on Private Capital Flows, Sydney, 9-10 August 1999. It builds on an earlier paper prepared for the Brookings Trade Policy Forum (Bordo, Eichengreen and Irwin 1999); we thank Doug Irwin for his collaboration and support.
