Unclaimed Property

At Desjardins Securities, we make reasonable efforts to locate and notify owners of unclaimed property in our possession, including but not limited to:

  • contacting the owner at his or her last known address;
  • locating the owner using a local telephone directory or the Canada 411 online directory assistance service;
  • using online search tools.

What is unclaimed property?

Due or payable amounts, cash, securities (i.e. stocks, bonds, mutual funds) or other property held in client accounts become unclaimed property in certain circumstances, including:

  • when written communications with clients are returned to Desjardins Securities marked "undeliverable";
  • when no claims or transactions have been made nor instructions given in respect of the property for a period of time established by legislation;
  • when certain periods of time established by provincial laws expire.

In these circumstances, and after reasonable efforts have been made to find and notify the owners of this property, it is deemed to be unclaimed.
