Step 1. Set up a broking account

If you don’t already have one, you can set up an account with a stockbroker, online broker, financial adviser or investment platform. Using an online broker is usually more cost efficient than a traditional stockbroker. You can ask your bank if they have a broking service or go to the ASX website to find a broker here.

Apart from brokerage, there are no other fees to buy, hold or sell Argo shares.

Step 2. Buy your Argo shares

After you have set up your broking account, you can buy Argo shares through your share broker using the ASX ticker code ‘ARG’. The minimum initial investment is $500.

Step 3. Your new Argo shareholding

As a new Argo shareholder, you will receive information about your new shareholding from Argo’s share registry operator, BoardRoom Pty Limited. They will also ask you to choose how you would prefer to receive communications from us (by email, hard copy or a combination) and request your bank account details for dividend payments.

You can choose to participate in our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) to automatically reinvest all or part of your dividends to receive additional shares in Argo.

Investing for children and grandchildren

Parents and grandparents often ask us how they can invest in Argo Investments on behalf of their children or grandchildren. Owning shares can help children develop an understanding and interest in investing and its long-term benefits.
