Matrix Investor Database
1. What is the Matrix Investor Database?
This is a unique source of wealthy private investors in the UK. The Matrix Investor Database provides financial intelligence on over 2.5 million affluent individuals and offers a varied, flexible and responsive database for prospect mailing or data enhancement.
2. How does Matrix gather the information?
The database has been compiled over the past 20 years through bespoke research, with many of the individuals unlikely to feature in any other data sources. This makes the Matrix Investor Database one of the best sources of serious investors in the UK.
Share Registers: The main source of information is share registers such as Computershare, Capita and Equiniti. This allows us to see which companies the individuals within the data have purchased shares from, which indices they have purchased from (e.g. FTSE 100, AIM, FTSE4Good) and whether they have purchased any other financial products, e.g. Investment Trusts, VCTs, etc.
Experian: As a partner of Experian, we are able to match our entire database against their profiling variables in order to build up a full image of these investors. Our Experian partnership gives us intelligence such as an investor's house value, their age, any directorships, their estimated income and a great deal of additional information.
Research: We have a dedicated team of 20 market researchers based in our Wokingham office. Their goal is to ensure all database information held at Matrix Solutions is as up-to-date as possible.
3. Who would use the MID?
The MID has a number of distinct client groups:
1) Our core client base is made up of marketing personnel from investment companies who are looking to promote their financial products directly to investors in the market. As Matrix holds the contact details of every VCT investor in the UK, many asset management companies come to Matrix Solutions looking to promote new VCT products in the run-up to the end of the financial year.
2) Our secondary client base comprises of marketing companies and list-brokers who will licence data from us on behalf of their own varied clients. The fact that we appeal to this user-base is what demonstrates our industry-leading status as the investor data specialists chosen by the marketing industry itself.
3) Our tertiary client base includes charities and luxury goods companies, such as high end travel agents, antiques dealers, and also many British film companies looking for investment.
