What is a CCASS Participants Shareholding Report?
A CCASS Participants Shareholding Report ("PSH Report") contains the shareholding records of CCASS Participants in CCASS on a specified date in respect of particular listed securities which have been admitted into CCASS. The PSH Report shows the shareholding of all CCASS Participants (i.e. Direct Clearing Participants ("DCP")/General Clearing Participants ("GCP"), Custodian Participants, Stock Lender Participants, Stock Pledgee Participants, Clearing Agency Participants and Investor Participants).
Who can Request for PSH Reports?
Listed companies' Directors and other duly authorized person(s) can request for PSH Reports related to the securities issued by their own listed company and admitted into CCASS.
Which date(s) of PSH Report(s) can be retrieved?
Each PSH Report shows shareholding information on a particular day. Shareholding information for the past 12 months can be retrieved. All the shareholding information shown in the reports reflects the shareholdings of Participants after settlement of trades. All Exchange trades are required to be settled on T+2 (T= Trading Day), other than the trades for China Connect Securities that are to be settled on T+0.
