For professionals

Independent pension identification, documented to a professional standard.

PensionHunter provides independent, evidence-based pension identification reports for executors, trustees, advisers and institutions.

Trusted by individuals. Designed for professional standards.

PensionHunter is a trusted UK company producing professional Pension Identification Reports to institutional standards for individuals, executors, trustees, advisers, employers and professional organisations.

A Pension Identification Report is the deliverable. It states what can be identified in a named individual's history, who holds it today, and the source behind each finding. It is written to be read by a professional, relied on by a professional, and kept on a file.

What every Pension Identification Report contains

Our reports are prepared using a structured pension identification methodology. Every report is built from the same six elements, whichever country it covers.

Methodology

How the report was produced, set out plainly, so the work behind it can be understood and repeated.

Sources consulted

Every register, official record, employer record and public source examined for the named individual.

Findings

What can be identified in the individual's history, who holds it today, and how to reach the holder.

Supporting evidence

Each finding attributed to the record it came from, so a reader can check it independently.

Limitations

What the available records could not establish, and the boundaries that apply to the conclusions drawn.

Recommended next steps

The practical actions open to the reader on the evidence gathered, in the order that makes sense.

PensionHunter does not guarantee that a pension will be found, or that every entitlement can be identified. No professional firm can. What we stand behind is the quality, integrity and consistency of our methodology and our reporting: the same structured process, the same evidence standard, and the same documentation, in every report we issue.

Who we report for

Executors and probate firms

Establish what pension interests existed in the deceased's name, with the source behind every entry, in a document that files with the estate papers.

Solicitors and advisers

A standing, independent reference point when a client's pension history spans several countries and the paperwork does not.

Trustees and pension administrators

Documented identification work on members whose records have gone quiet, produced to the same standard every time.

Employers and institutions

Consistent reporting for internationally mobile staff and legacy workforce populations, suitable for a case or client file.

Why a report, not a search

Saves staff time

The identification work, the sourcing and the write-up arrive finished.

Standardised methodology

The same process, applied the same way, in every country we report on.

Documented evidence

Every statement in the report is attributed to the record it came from.

Consistent reporting

One structure, one vocabulary, whichever country the report covers.

A professional document

Written in the family of a valuation report, a due diligence report or an inspection report.

Suitable for a file

Dated, sourced and self-contained, so it can be relied on and referred back to.

Coverage

Our Pension Knowledge Base covers 52 countries, the reference layer behind every report we write. Our full Pension Identification Service covers 41 countries. Where a country sits in the Knowledge Base but outside the service, our country page sets out the free official route instead, and says so plainly.
