8. Prospects of Wealth opens the door to over 4.5 million of America's most affluent individuals. This unique
searchable database will help you reach your target market!
"Prospects of Wealth" by Larkspur Data is included in your subscription to Prospect Research Online.
"Prospects of Wealth" or POW contains approximately four and a half million high net worth individuals
located throughout the United States. This database is compiled from over 70 sources including the SEC,
IRS (Keogh Retirement Plans), FAA, Coast Guard, DMV, and many other public sources of information. In
order to be included in "Prospects of Wealth", a person must have multiple evidences of wealth.
The product is positioned for the financial industry as it specifically targets individuals who have liquid assets
to invest. People who may be wealthy in your area may not be included in this database as they may not
possess multiple public sources of wealth indicators. Such things as bank balances, real estate holdings, etc
would not qualify an individual for "Prospects of Wealth" as either the information is not public or their
assets are not liquid.
In order for Larkspur Data to determine multiple evidences of wealth, they go to such sources as the SEC to
locate Corporate Insiders that have filed Section 144 Documents for transfers of large blocks of stock. The
IRS is an excellent source for information on business owners with Keogh Retirement Plans. The FAA makes
available information on individuals that own private aircraft. The Coast Guard has public information on
individuals that own yachts in excess of 40 feet. The Department of Motor Vehicles has information on people
who register vehicles with a value in excess of $100,000. The list of sources is quite varied but it is based on
public sources of information.
"Prospects of Wealth" serves as a great lead list to identify new prospects that have the financial means to
contribute to your cause. Many Prospect Research Online users utilize our ZoomInfo database product to
further their research on individuals identified in "Prospects of Wealth".
