My 1996 Directory of DRIPs doesn't list transfer agents but does list BEN's DRIP, and a phone number of 1-800-524-4458. At the time of publication, Carlson gave the plan a 'thumbs-up' rating although it only purchased quarterly back then. Let us know if the plan has changed since then. By the way, you wouldn't be Peter (Kyung) Chong from Seattle, by chance? Regards, Rick

According to my sources, the transfer agent is Bank of New York, and the phone number is (800)524-4458. Hope this helps. If you have at least the requisite share, registered in your name, you can enroll in the plan. The plan invests OCP's on the 15th of each month. You are right to call them though as they may have made changes to their program since the material I have is nearly a year old, and they could answer your more specific questions.
