With BrokerLine you can hold your shares electronically through their CREST Personal Membership or their Nominee Service: alternatively you can deal using share certificates. Both the CREST and Nominee services are ideal for regular dealers (five times or more per year), while dealing using share certificates is more suited to those who trade only once in a while.

How you hold your shares will determine how fast your trades are settled, the charges you pay and whether or not the shares are registered in your name.
