Georgeson specialises in asset reunification (reuniting individuals with their share entitlement). We work with a wide variety of well known companies, actively looking to return unclaimed assets to their shareholders.
It is best practice for companies to return lost assets to keep their share register up-to-date and to ensure that their shareholders receive the assets they’re entitled to. If they don’t keep their register up-to-date, they may incur unnecessary costs, for example by mailing shareholders at the wrong address.
There is a fee to cover the costs incurred as a result of tracing and contacting individuals. This is subtracted from the total shareholder’s amount, so you only pay for the service if and when you receive a payment.
Georgeson will never ask you to provide personal information such as bank account details to us via email, as all of our payments are made by cheque. We will always ask you to call us or return information to us via official forms that we will post to you.
If you are worried about fraud, receive any suspicious emails or are concerned in any way about communications you receive from Georgeson please contact us. Georgeson is part of Computershare, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
