   The CDC is a company that operates an electronic share register called the Central Depositary System (CDS). The CDS eliminates the need for physical movement of share certificates. CDC electronically manages book entry system for custody and transfer of securities. CDS was introduced to replace the manual system of physical handling and settlement of shares at the stock exchange and is managed by the Central Depository Company (CDC), which is incorporated under the Central Depositories Act 1997. Investors can open their accounts directly with CDC called Investor Accounts or open sub accounts with a brokerage firm. It has also solved investor problems related to stock handling on the settlement date, registration of shares, and exercise of corporate action benefits. Visit CDC website for further details regarding shares safe keeping. (www.cdcpakistan.com).
