Today I visited newly launched cds.lk website which is owned by Central Depository Systems (PVT) Ltd (CDS). CDS is fully owned subsidiary of Colombo Stock Exchange. This newly launched website is very useful for both investors & brokers as it allows downloading all the required documents including CDS account opening forms, transfer forms & withdrawal forms etc... I hope foreign investors & nonresident Sri Lankan investors will benefit from this new site.
