beneficiaries
Those who gain
Beneficiaries are people who receive benefits from something—an inheritance, a trust, an insurance policy, or a program.
The word appears most often in legal and financial contexts: She named her children as beneficiaries of her life insurance.
More broadly, anyone who gains advantage from an action or arrangement is a beneficiary: The real beneficiaries of the tax cut were corporations.
