How we help with recovery
Identify your investments
We review the information and documents available to identify the company, folio, certificate, dividend record or other details that can help trace the investment.
Trace the current shareholding
We investigate the available records to establish the present status of the shares, dividends or related investment, including the relevant company or Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), where applicable.
Check corporate changes
We review relevant company changes such as name changes, mergers, demergers, bonus issues, stock splits and other corporate actions that may have affected the original holding.
Check IEPF status
We check whether eligible shares or unpaid dividends may have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), and identify the applicable claim route where relevant.
We handle the recovery
Once the investment is traced, we manage the required documents, forms, submissions, coordination and recovery process on your behalf.
We follow through
We handle the follow-ups, address additional requirements and keep you updated until the process reaches its appropriate outcome.
We help you recover your investments

FAQS
Frequently asked questions
What are unclaimed assets?
Unclaimed assets can include old shares, unpaid or unclaimed dividends, physical share certificates and other investment records that have not been claimed or tracked by the entitled holder. The exact status and recovery route depend on the asset and the records maintained by the relevant company, RTA or authority.
Can you help if I do not know what investments I own?
Yes. You can provide whatever information you have, such as an investor name, company name, old address, folio number, certificate details or dividend information. We use the available information to trace possible investments and then handle the applicable recovery process.
What if I have lost all the investment documents?
You can still contact us with whatever information you remember. We can assess the available details, identify what may be traceable and, where a holding is found, manage the applicable documentation and recovery process.
Can you help find investments made by my parents or grandparents?
Yes. We can help trace old family investments and establish their current status. If the original shareholder is deceased, the applicable transmission, succession or claim requirements will depend on the circumstances and the documents required by the relevant authority or intermediary. We can manage the applicable process and documentation with you.
Can you trace old physical shares?
Yes. We can help identify the company, folio and current status of old physical shares, including whether the issuer has changed its name, merged, undergone restructuring, or whether the securities may have moved into an unclaimed or IEPF-related process. For listed-company investor service requests, securities are issued/credited in dematerialised form under the applicable SEBI framework.
What if the company has changed its name or merged with another company?
We can trace relevant corporate changes and identify the present company or successor entity and the status of the investment, then manage the applicable recovery or claim process.
Can you check if my shares or dividends were transferred to IEPF?
Yes. We can check whether eligible shares or unpaid dividends may have been transferred to IEPF and, where an IEPF claim is applicable, manage the applicable claim process and documentation.
What information do I need to start the search?
You can start with any available information, including old certificates, company names, folio numbers, certificate numbers, dividend records, investor names, old addresses or correspondence. More information can make tracing easier, but you do not need to have a complete set of records before contacting us.
