Have you ever had a Standard Life product?

If you've ever had a product with Standard Life, it's possible you're eligible for shares from its demutualisation last year. Over 200,000 policyholders have failed to come forward to collect their entitlement to 90 million shares worth £272 million. It's worth checking, you could be missing out on thousands (or a deceased relative's policy too)

If you want to check whether you're eligible then contact the Standard Life Demutualisation Response Unit on 0845 275 3000. (If you are based in Ireland, phone 1890 946 334.)

If you plan to claim on behalf of a deceased relative then you'll need the relevant certificate. If you are claiming for yourself, it's better to have your details at hand, but it's possible to claim without them.

Just a note to add that the product needs to include an investment in the "With profits fund" , so it will be a pension, endowment, or With profits investment bond.

Investment in unit linked funds ( eg the Balanced managed fund) don't qualify and nor do mortgages or protection products.

I've a stakeholder pension with SL and I'm pretty sure I'm not eligible. They sent me all the information on the possibility of buying shares but nothing about any cash or share allowance.

stakeholder pensions normally invested in unit linked funds which give no entitlement to free shares. There was no cash benefit.

Ed has given the correct information in clarifying what the actual qualifying products were.
