SEDOLs for London Listed / AIM securities are normally alocated well in advance of the security trading I cannot give you a fixed period as it depends when the application is made to list or when we receive the prospectus/term sheet whichever is earlier. SEDOL allocation for securities listed overseas is on a request basis so again depends when we receive the request.
