No, you don’t need to create separate accounts for each holding. You can add additional holdings, such as a broker-sponsored HIN or an issuer-sponsored SRN, to your existing Investor Portal account. Simply click on “Add Holding” from either your Portfolio page or your Employee Plan dashboard.
Transferring shares to your brokerage account is straightforward with Automic. Since Automic’s single platform manages both share registry and employee share plans, your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) remains the same across your equity awards and ordinary shares.
Once you’ve received confirmation of your ordinary shares, you can use the same SRN to request a transfer to your brokerage account.
Yes, if you have multiple holdings under different SRNs and would like to consolidate them into a single holding, please email us at esp@automicgroup.com.au, and our team will assist you with the process.
If you're experiencing issues transferring shares from your SRN to your HIN, it’s important to check that the name and address details on your SRN exactly match those on your HIN. Even small discrepancies can cause issues.
If the details don’t match, let us know by emailing esp@automicgroup.com.au, and we’ll help update the name or address on your holding to ensure the transfer process
goes smoothly. Minor cosmetic changes usually don’t require any supporting documents. However, for more significant updates, we may request documentation to process the change on your behalf.

The difference lies in how your shares are held:
· CHESS-Sponsored Shares These shares are held through a stockbroker and registered with the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS). They are assigned a Holder Identification Number (HIN), which is unique to you and your broker.
· Issuer-Sponsored Shares These shares are managed directly by the issuer’s share registry and are not linked to a specific broker. Instead, they are assigned a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN). Issuer-sponsored shares can still be traded through any broker, provided you meet the broker's conditions.
Both types allow you to manage and trade your shares, but the key difference is whether the shares are associated with a broker (HIN) or the issuer’s registry (SRN).
