Although Capita Registrarsoverall tally has slipped below 1,200 for the first time in our 16 surveys so far, it is still the dominant player thanks to its preponderance of smaller clients. Second placed Computershare Investor Services PLC has also slipped back and Equiniti, the leader for market cap and profits, will be content with just a single loss across the board.

Share Registrars falls back into double figures ahead of Neville but sixth placed S.L.C Registrars boasts a couple of gains. The only other positive score is achieved by IOMA, up one client and now in joint ninth position.
