Additional Services Unidentified Certificates

We frequently receive portfolios containing certificates for old and obscure securities which require tracing and verification. Sometimes these holdings will have evolved, often by many stages, into a valid current security.

We have researched certificates of companies which are now defunct or which became through various changes listed companies on the London Stock Exchange or an overseas exchange.

Share Data can search data archives on thousands of securities. We are able to provide comprehensive and detailed reports on all the changes a security has been through.

We have investigated certificates dating back to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. They have been as diverse as Russian and Chinese Imperial Government bonds, a Cuban stevedoring company from the 1920s and a Chilean mining company from the 1930s.

Share Data has frequently been able to identify current assets from certificates which the holders had assumed to be valueless
