<p>The dormant assets scheme has already distributed over £600m for the benefit of
good causes. The Dormant Assets Commission, which reported on the feasibility of expanding
the scheme in 2017, estimated that there may be up to £2bn of additional dormant assets
that could be transferred into the scheme. This could significantly increase the quantity
of funds available for good causes across the country.</p><p> </p><p>Building on the
work of the Commission, and supported by HMT and DCMS, four senior industry leaders
published a blueprint in April 2019 for broadening the scheme to include assets from
the insurance and pensions, investment and wealth management, and securities sectors.
Quantifying dormancy was not within the scope of this work.</p>
