Category — Market Participants

A Depository is a specialized financial organization, a professional participant in the securities market whose main activity is the provision of services for the registration and certification of the ownership rights of securities, as well as storing information about securities and their owners in documentary or uncertified (dematerialized) form. The registration and certification of rights to securities by a depositary is legally equal to the registration and certification of rights to securities by the registrar in the register of securities owners. Also, within the framework of its activities, the depository helps investors to professionally resolve many issues related to the ownership and disposal of securities, as well as deal with a large number of nuances that inevitably arise in the process of investment activity. Depositaries are divided into various types according to their purpose and functions
