- Capture new investment
Through the recycling of funds, the corporate client can build on their client base following a reunification exercise.
- Positive Viral effect
The reunification of assets changes lives for many beneficiaries, the ripple effect of this will encourage positive media coverage, viral positive word of mouth and reinforced customer perception of your brand.
The requirement for members of the Financial Services Industry to take more positive and active steps in tracing their “gone aways” is now generally accepted, and is high on the agenda for both the government and the media. Taking proactive steps, demonstrates a commitment to corporate governance and social responsibility, reinforcing customer perceptions of your brand.
Heirtrace can provide a definite resolution to these problems, at no cost to the corporate client. In the cases we have previously conducted, we have achieved success rates in excess of 85%. We do this, working always with integrity and within the framework of our code of practice.
Heirtrace have developed a specialised product specifically for the financial services sector. This comprises a number of components brought together to create an effective but cost efficient way to identify the owners of assets.
The situation faced is complex, with some owners being relatively simple to trace (using the right techniques) and others very complex, so the structured approach shown we take allows our client to determine its own priorities in deciding which category of contact should be sought with greatest urgency.

A typical comment from a beneficiary:-
Mrs Moreby from Somerset: “What a great surprise I had to receive a cheque for the sum of £1,115.73 on Saturday 7th November 2009. I sincerely thank you for all your work on behalf of the Friendly Society in tracing this missing asset.”
Mrs Day from Chichester: “Back in September you wrote to me in relation to my mother, informing me you were working for Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society regarding tracing heirs of missing assets. I have now received the cheque from them and would just like to thank you for all your efforts in acheiving this. Well done, it is nice to know there are people around like you who have managed to trace money that would otherwise never come to light.”
