Your enrollment is good for all securities that you hold under the investment account represented by the Control Number MCI issued to you in association with a specific Mutual Fund Company or Corporate Issuer. If you have multiple accounts, you may recieve separate control numbers.
You are required to enroll separately for each individual Control Number provided to you. This is due to the fact that separate Control Numbers are often linked to separate accounts, each of which requires separate consent. You can add Control Numbers to your account easily by logging in and using the "Add Control Number" function on the Linked Accounts page.
As time goes on, you may see new Control Numbers that are linked to accounts which you have already enroled. Re-enrollment is not necessary at this point, and SecureOnlineDelivery will not prompt you with the option to re-enroll.
MCI generates a Control Number for your account(s) at the time we receive data from your Mutual Fund Company or Corporate Issuer.
Proxy Meetings: For the purposes of voting by proxy at https://www.SecureOnlineVote.com we receive the data when a Mutual Fund Company or Corporate Issuer calls a meeting of shareholders and provides MCI with the appropriate data to issue a Form of Proxy. A Control Number identifies votable security positions in your account. A control number is generated on the meeting Record Date and is specific to a shareholder meeting.
MRFPs, Financial Statements and other financial communications: For the purposes of collecting consent for MRFPs or Financial Statement Mailings, a control number is generated semi-annually or annually for you.
SecureOnlineDelivery.com works entirely on the basis of a confirmed Opt-In process. We do not enroll individuals in our service through any other means. SecureOnlineDelivery.com received an enrollment request for an email address and issued a confirmation message to that address. Someone opened the confirmation message and clicked on the Confirmation Link to activate service for that email address.
If this was done by another person who has access to your email account, if you are unsure how this process occurred, or if you clicked through in error, you can always cancel service. To cancel service, go to https://SecureOnlineDelivery.com, login to your account and click the 'Terminate Service' button.
The only way to enroll is by using the unique Control Number that we have provided you. If you have received your Control Number with a Proxy form, you will complete the voting process at SecureOnlineVote.com. On the vote confirmation page, you will see a link to SecureOnlineDelivery. Click on the link there. This is due to the fact that we require a Control Number to identify you and match your SecureOnlineVote.com account to your securityholder account at your participating Mutual Fund Company or Corporate Issuer.
If you have received your Control Number on an Opt-in Consent Notice, you will be directed to www.SecureOnlineDelivery.com where you will enter your Control Number and follow the steps.
