Sell Your Shares

What does SRN mean? HIN?

It is important to know how your shares are being held if you plan on selling your shares. In Australia, there are two types numbers that shares can be held on. One is an SRN or Security Reference Number. The second is a HIN, or Holder Identification Number.

Security Reference Numbers (SRNs)

If you have an SRN, this may also be known as an Issuer Sponsored holding. The most common ways to acquire shares that are held on an SRN are:

  • By inheritance in a deceased estate or as a gift;
  • By working for a company who issues employee shares;
  • In an Initial Public Offering (IPO); or
  • As a result of a Demutualisation of a member owned company, commonly AMP and IAG

Issuer Sponsored holdings are held with the share registry of the company. The shares are not connected to a stockbroker and a full trading account is not needed to own these shares. Your SRN can normally be found on a holdings statement or any mail that has been sent to your from the share registry. The SRN most likely begins with the letter ‘I’ followed by ten or eleven digits.

Holder Identification Numbers (HINs)
Shares that are held on with a stockbroker or on a full trading account will have a HIN and are known as a CHESS (Clearing House Electronic Subregistry System) holding. A HIN will start with the letter ‘x’ followed by ten numerical digits.

** Estimated Trade Value After Fees is not a guarantee of actual sale price at the time of sale. For pricing details, please visit the ASX website. The price of shares fluctuates throughout the trading day, meaning the actual proceeds from your share sale may differ from the estimated value provided here (either higher or lower). The final price per share will reflect the market value at the exact moment of the sale.
*** Assumes shares are individual / joint held. For complex share sales requiring additional legal document verifications and regulatory compliance checks which are not registered to individual / joint holders (ie shares owned by a company, trust, SMSF, deceased estate or international shareholder), a surcharge of $50 or 0.5%, plus GST (whichever is greater) will apply. The amount is deducted from the proceeds of the share sale.
