Case Study
Prospecting for Gold - high net worth wealth intelligence

Clarity – Prospecting for Gold (PFG) require a robust system to host a single repository of ultra high net worth individuals.

Insight – Integration of several data sources to provide PFG with intelligence for charities to mine funding and donations.

Prospecting for Gold Ltd (PFG) provides wealth intelligence services to the not for profit, charity and wealth management sectors. They had a large amount of detailed individual information gleamed from years of research conducted specifically for consultants for the charity sector. They recognised that it has great potential as a stand-alone product but needed to be cleaned, matched against various other databases and hosted within a secure system which enables advanced filtering and analytics to remote users.

Background
Using Matrix-Insight™ services and expertise the data from several sources, including Prospecting for Gold constituent data, Matrix Investor Database, the UK Postal Address File (FAF) and multiple charity donor lists, was de-duplicated, matched and integrated. Given the nature of the individuals many had more than one address. Matrix-Data Solutions identified their primary addresses and other known valid addresses. The aggregated views of the individuals was then pushed into Matrix-Clarity™ FastStats delivering a secure web-based Single Customer View (SCV) containing more than 210,000 records each with 28 populated attributes. This solution is the Wealth Intelligence Database.
