Att ComSec Ake holders, page-122

"When I buy an international share (using Commsec) I get an electronic piece of paper indicating it is indeed a real share."

I actually never bought an international share. So I have no idea what paper you have. But I asked a Nabtrade officer whether I would actually buy an international share or a derivative of the international share if/when I did but one. And he said I would actually buy the derivative of the international share which is commonly called depositary reciept or note.

From @stanroc's reply to my question, I am convinced that the info I got from that Nabtrade officer is correct. @stanroc said that he converted the depositary receipts to shares if he wanted to keep it long term.

So if you want to know the truth, I suggest that you call Commsec to get the clarification. And please tell me if I am wrong.
