HI,
my employer has a great SAYE scheme, but its back by Equiniti who are fairly useless. Shares are issued in paper certs, and theres a lengthy process to transfer shares from a EQ shareview dealing account into a EQI S&S ISA; that comes with some transfer fees too.
Ideal solution, would be to transfer paper share holdings directly into T212 S&S ISA, but that’s not currently possible, or so i believe. Any clue on whether this is likely to be possible in the future, and any likely timelines.
(currently sitting on about £45k worth of SAYE schemes due to mature in the next few years, and the thought of having to fight with EQI every step of the way makes me weep ;))
