Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I track down my unclaimed dividends?
If you have not received dividends from shares which you hold it is probably because the company does not have the correct address on its share register. Always ensure that you notify companies of any changes of address and preferably accept payment by direct transfer rather than by cheque.
It is estimated that there are apparently £15 billion worth of unclaimed assets in the UK.
The Unclaimed Assets Register can help to find missing dividends. You can do this by completing a Lost Asset request form via the UAR website (www.uar.co.uk) and returning it to:
The Unclaimed Assets Register
PO Box 9501
Nottingham
NG80 1WD
The cost of a search (even if unsuccessful) is £25.
