Yes, as other responses have indicated if you own the stock directly, in the case of a Fund, the fund actually owns the stock, you own a share of the fund.

However, sometimes they only know a name and some outdated information. In that case they attempt to contact, but if no response, there are provisions for them to act as a Proxy for the shares and your investment and any proceeds are held in trust.
