Are you owed money in unclaimed dividends?

UNCLAIMED dividends in South Africa are currently standing at approximately R4.5 billion. These are dividends you may have forgotten about or may have belonged to parents as part of employee share schemes, for example, and have never been claimed after the death of the principal owner.

Old Mutual has partnered with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to trace the rightful owners and beneficiaries of these benefits to ensure that they receive their unclaimed funds.

Old Mutual is proud to be a participant in the JSE-led Claim it campaign, aiming to reconnect these shareholders with their unclaimed benefits details and in some cases, beneficiaries being unaware that these benefits exist in their names’. Alongside other 19 listed companies, Old Mutual says it is determined to help these shareholders and beneficiaries gain access to their unclaimed benefits.

“Think of the positive contribution these could make to your financial goals if you were to receive such an unexpected payout,” comments Manyike.
